Stuck in a Notice Period Dilemma: How Can I Join My New Job on Time?

Hi All, I am Subhash. I have received an offer from an MNC to join in 30 days, and I have accepted that offer. I informed HR that I will try to reduce my notice period to 30 days. Currently, my company has a 45-day notice period. In my current organization, I have made every effort to convince my Manager and Team Lead to release me in 30 days by explaining the true picture of my new opportunity. However, they insist that I must serve the full notice period as per company rules.

After two weeks, my Team Lead sent me an email stating that I am required to serve the full 45-day notice period. I promptly forwarded this conversation to the HR of the new company. The HR representative replied that they cannot extend my joining date.

Could someone please advise me on what steps I should take now?

Thanks & regards, Subhash G
