Trending @Accenture; Resignation advice needed

I'm considering resigning from this stupid organization because I feel undervalued by them. I'm confident in my skills and believe I can secure a better opportunity with a higher package elsewhere. However, I'm also feeling conflicted and concerned—especially about my family’s well-being.

My main worry is: what if I don’t get another offer quickly? Would it be possible to withdraw my resignation during the notice period or return to the company if things don’t work out?

I’d really appreciate some guidance—is it a wise move to resign without having another offer in hand, or should I wait?

Same goes with me.. my resignation mail is in draft.. I'll send it by next week. We can definitely land up in a next job don't worry about that. If we keep overthinking that nothing will happen n we'll gonna stuck in the here itself. Accenture has become poison now. Go ahead and do it. No need to to worry about future. Its all wriiten!!!!

Just a surprise to my PL, I resigned just before he sent me the rewards but with a offer in hand. So never worry about resigning. Take time, prepare will, upskill and go out. There are lot openings even now. To avoid 90 notice issues , only ways is to upskill and be in demanding position. So do not take risky decisions and take wisely.

Update your notice period to 30 days on the Naukri portal and attend a few interviews. Once you feel confident, go ahead and resign. You’ll definitely get an offer.

If you get selected, tell them you’re currently on the bench and can join in 30 days. Once you receive the offer letter, after 10-15 days, inform them that you got assigned to a project and your current company isn't releasing you early. Request them to revise your joining date to 90 days.

Resigning from a toxic workplace can feel incredibly liberating—but it should always be a calculated decision. The future is never already decided. Rather, we write our future ourselves, whether good or bad. You might already have the right skills to move on and find a better opportunity, but before taking that leap, ask yourself a few critical questions:

Have you already started your job search?

If yes, are you confident that your skills align with your target roles?

Are you aware of the current job market and the demand for your profile?

Do you know the right strategies to search, apply, and get interview calls from your desired companies?

Are you mentally prepared for the process and its challenges?

There are many questions to consider. Yes, you can figure them out after resigning through trial and error, but that learning curve may take up to a month. That would leave you with just two months of notice period to land a job offer.

Two months can be enough—but only if you approach them right. The perspective makes all the difference. If you already have an offer before resigning, you operate from a position of strength. There’s no pressure, just potential—giving you the freedom to pursue better roles and higher packages with a clear, confident mindset.

On the other hand, resigning without an offer leads to daily-growing pressure, fueled by uncertainty and financial concern. With that weight on your shoulders, every interview will feel like a make-or-break moment, and that anxiety can affect your performance. You mentioned being concerned about your family's well-being and the possibility of revoking your resignation—these thoughts will only intensify as the end of your notice period approaches.

That’s why I strongly advise against resigning without an offer in hand. Always assess your timing and effort, so you won’t have to face regret later. But I’m not just here to highlight the problem—here’s a practical way forward:

If you’re already mentally checked out from your current job, leverage that. Start prioritizing your job search. Pull back slightly from your daily responsibilities—skip a few calls, delay some tasks, let complaints come in. You’re already planning to leave, so the worst that can happen is a PIP, which doesn’t matter if you’re transitioning out anyway.

Use this period to focus fully on your job switch. Apply strategically, upskill if needed, and network. If you do it right, you’ll likely secure an offer within one or two months—this time, without the pressure of joblessness weighing on you.

Let me leave you with this thought: When you resign without an offer, your focus is just on getting any job—often accepting a 40–50% hike just to get out. But when you resign with an offer, you’re playing from a place of security. You can afford to wait for a better opportunity and aim for a 100–120% hike—and yes, that’s absolutely achievable. Even I did the same.

Save this message and revisit it once you’ve landed your next role. I’m confident you’ll see how much it resonates with your job-hunting experience.

First get a offer and then resign, but remember its the same story everywhere.

I totally understand how you feel being undervalued is tough, especially when you know you have the skills to do better. If you’re confident, you’ll likely find something with a better package. But since your family’s well-being is also a concern, I’d suggest playing it safe try to get another offer first, then resign.

If you're open to relocating, your chances improve. But if you're set on a specific city or your hometown, it might take longer it really depends on the market.

Yes, you can withdraw your resignation during the notice period, but it depends entirely on your manager. I actually did it myself on the last day(even after getting another offer), due to personal reasons. My manager allowed it, but I had to face the consequences : missed my variable pay for two cycles, got a negative rating in the workday, and my promotion is delayed. It didn’t feel great, even though I managed to clear the PIP later on(this also depends on manager).

So my honest advice: keep applying while you’re still working. Once you get a good offer, resign with confidence and no regrets. It’s better than dealing with the uncertainty and risk that can come after withdrawing a resignation.

Firstly, take out some time and prepare well. Start appearing for interviews aggressively. Once you get the offer, then resign. Notice Period is a crucial time. Appear for more interviews and negotiate. You will definitely get what you deserve. I've done the same. All the best.

Do not resign without any offer in hand. I can understand where you're coming from but just hang in there a bit. Look for the options outside proactively and get the offer. Resign only after you have at least one offer. Once you put the papers, you can always try to look for the better options and negotiation.
