Trending @Infosys; I don't like working on my project. Thinking of resignation without a job offer? Need suggestions.
Hi, I am working on a project where I don't like to work as firstly the managers and the leads are not cooperative and they just burden us with a hell lot of work and won't listen to anything. Secondly, the project is a kind of legacy project more than 10 years old code base, which I don't want to learn as it is kind of an outdated thing which has no significance in the job market currently! I have been very stressed out of this, I have developed anxiety because of it. Also, now I don't feel like working at all. Now I don't take much load and let the things go, I don't care if work is completed or not. I am thinking of resignation without offer? Is it a wise decision?
I resigned without a Job offer. I was also fed up with the work. I got an offer from a product based firm with > 100% hike. I was confident about cracking the interviews hence I took the risk. If you are also confident then go for it and ensure a fund for next 2 to 3 months after lwd.
Thank you for your words. Just wanted to know your yoe when you put down the papers and tech stack?
I put my my papers 2.5 months back, Im a DSE and have 2.5 years of exp. My tech is Java.
Is it related to mainframe?? Because you have mentioned legacy technology
No, not the mainframe. Actually it's Java in the project. Sorry for using legacy I should have used a better word. But the project is kind of an outdated, older version of java with an old version of spring and no plans for any kind of migration. Also, nothing related to microservices here.
These are happening nowadays with lots of people and this is how Indian work culture is, but resignation is not the solution, I am having in this situation for a month but it seems a long time, my lead seems having personal dushmani with me, scolds me every time
Well resigning without an offer is not a wise thing, you try to get a switch in which you will involve yourself in something outside of your project this will engage you not thinking about what is happening in your project
Second thing is reskill or upskill, certifications or code practice
Follow a hobby , don't take load or stress, watch related videos on youtube there are lots of videos in these topics nowadays at least you can relate which will make you strong a bit for your upcoming projects, at least you will know how to handle all these situations
Same situation in my project as well. We were hoping it would end by Nov 1st but got extended for couple of weeks. Few already resigned but somehow I'm holding up.
The tasks were never clear and it was on the developer to figure out the expectation, that too after starting the work. The planning was horrendous, and managers only cared about updating JIRA tickets and fill excel sheets.
I'm confident that I'll find another job if I leave without an offer, but I don't want to get into another SBC. And also not able to focus on preparation with this job.
Resign if you have some level of preparation for finding the next role. Also try to find freelancing opportunities in case you are out of work.
I understand how anxiety works. I occasionally go through that phase and it takes a toll on overall health as well. One of my team members took consultation, and asked the management to release him from the project as he was having anxiety attacks and also provided the medical certificate.
But management replied that only if Infosys doctors agree with the diagnosis, they'll release.
Resignation without future plans is never wise.
I will be having around 3 yoe. I have given some interviews , cracked 3. But no one is willing to 90 days Np. What can I do in this scenario? Even buyout is also not an option here. Please suggest.
Normally in nov dec month hirings are slowed down bcz of long festival holidays in the us n eu but if u r trying for Indian based startup companies then u can 🙂 plan accordingly
Yes, I have kept this in mind. I am targeting job offers in January and February month. As we have 90 days Np so, accordingly I am thinking.
As long as you have confidence that you can crack the interview and have some money as backup for at least 3 months. Go ahead.
Thank you for your advice. It helped in gaining so much confidence. Would you also suggest this time period would be alright for resignation?
Gonna do same
Are your project related to mainframe??
