Trending @Accenture; Resign without an offer

Hi All,

I joined Accenture as a fresher, now I'm at level 10 and having CTC of 8L (Total Exp 3.7). I'm working as a Java developer.

I think, the CTC is low and I want to switch asap but these 90 days notice period not allowing me to do so. I'm not receiving calls from recruiters, everyone is asking for 60 or 45 days.

I have decided to resign in coming month, please guide and suggest on this. Is it right time to take this risk?

It's a good decision only if you feel that you crack the interview and in market openings are available.

But isn’t it risky if they stay unemployed?

Yes many people mentioned that without offer leave the job then almost 9-12 months unemployed

Are you sure it’s because of the notice period? Ideally - you can buy out notice period or negotiate if you’re on bench

Just say to recruiters that your 90day np is flexible, fuck it

It’s a more middle option

I went through a similar experience. After submitting my resignation, I started job hunting. Initially, calls were infrequent, but the situation improved significantly after a month. I now have a couple of offers and have gotten used to the interview process. I'm confident you'll adjust quickly as well. To gain more experience, I recommend accepting interviews for any location initially.

If you are getting lots of inbound requests feel free to resign and look for jobs. Recruiters will take you much more seriously.

But do realise this has risk associated with it man. All the bets

I will suggest you to take an offer saying that 60 days as a notice period and give some reason to Accenture and ask early release they will ask you to pay money for early release. One of my team members has done this and they have released her within 10 days.

But don't you think, everyone knows about the NP for big MNCs are 90 days

Everyone knows but still they need early joining right.

I'd say put in your papers in such a way that you can easily retract it as well at the last moment. Don't have any beef with the managers while resigning. Give a smart reason for quitting and let them know there's a possibility you'll retract it. ( Eg : Parents are unwell, current decision is to look after your family business, would retract papers if the situation gets better) or something crafty like that. All the best :)

Prepare data structures and algorithms if you haven't yet. And then resign. Provided you are aiming for a top product company.

And once you resign start preparing system design (both LLD and HLD). Because at 3+ YOE you should be aiming for the SDE-2 position and SDE-2 interviews will have DSA, LLD as well as HLD rounds.

Best of luck!

I was in the same position as yours (a month ago) before putting down paper. IMHO I would suggest you get an offer just anywhere before resigning to be on a safe side in case things don't go as planned.

Suggestion to reduce the 90 days clause - if you have earned leaves equivalent to around a month then mention to the HR that you can negotiate with your employer on the ground of encashing earned leave to reduce notice period (I used this to get an offer :)). Otherwise if you are not locked to any project then it will be easy for you to personal talk to the HR and somehow convince them to reduce your stay (I heard from the office that someone had got their NP reduced this way )
