@F1973 Okay, the advantage for me at current job is that I am kind of non-repaceable ( customer facing )
It's a growing company with just 24 employees. And I'm kind of the expert in my team which currently has only 2 other people.
One of that guy is a recent hire that I trained. And he is intended to work for other timezone.
So, there is no way they will layoff me unless they might find my hint offensive. -
It's all about you.
Personally I wouldn't take a risk about informing till I have a confirmation.
Beyond this, I have been in such situations and it's always the tradeoff you need to think, and also always remember that it's the people you should care about not the company. So any manager/junior who's going to get affected by this should be informally informed.
Apart from that, you are an asset, and you are replaceable is a valid argument.
But will you be able to live with it is the question. If you are in early stages of your career then it should be fine to step on companies in such a way. But eventually you should start looking at the longer game, build contacts, show stability and win the game.
Cheers! -
@HoloDreamer Congratulations! And all the best
So I may be getting a great job offer by the end of this week. The best thing is that it's a remote company since start and they have proper documentation and processes.
The current company has no idea that I am planning to leave. And they are planning some things around me for this month.
Should I hint that I have a job offer hovering around. I don't see anything bad about mentioning that.
1) Even if I don't get the new job, current company might offer to increase salary and accept my demands.
2) I will be able to get out of current job as soon as possible when I get the new job. I don't intend to complete next September at current company.
Any thoughts? Is it wise to mention about leaving before I have confirmation of new job?
