How Can I Leave My Current Job Quickly for a Dream Offer Without Paying Notice?

ksudhakar37
I'm Sudhakar, and I have joined Company A this month. Now, I have received an offer from Company B, which is my dream company and will significantly boost my career. I am required to join Company B within a week due to a critical requirement.

I have not yet received any salary from Company A, and as per the offer letter, the notice period is 2 months that I need to serve, or I must pay 2 months' notice if I decide to leave during probation or after confirmation. Additionally, the contract states that if I fail to serve the notice period, the company has the right to recover the entire notice pay salary from me to release me from my services.

I now wish to be relieved within 1 week without paying the notice period (as Company B is not willing to buy out), and I also do not intend to abscond. Please advise on how I can professionally handle this situation with Company A. I request a prompt response.

NOTE: Company B is aware that I recently joined Company A.

Regards,
Sudhakar

What is the problem then if Company A says that you have to serve a 2-month notice or pay in lieu thereof only after confirmation? As you have recently joined this company and are under probation, you are not entitled to notice pay/period. You may resign from the company without the same.

In my offer letter, it states a 2-month notice/notice pay during probation and after confirmation. I'm really confused about how to deal with this situation. Please help.

I am a bit confused about how to respond to your query. Please provide me with the terms and conditions of your appointment in bullet points. I would like to know your date of joining, date of leaving or proposed date of leaving, notice period during probation and after confirmation. Additionally, please inform me if a shortfall of notice can be compensated by paying money in terms of appointment. Also, please clarify the termination/resignation clause.

Having all the above information will enable me to advise you on how to professionally handle the situation. It is always preferable to part ways with the company with a smile and head held high.

Dear Sudhakar,

Your Problem Statement
You say you are holding an offer from your dream company, and they are asking you to move in within a week. The company you have just joined is asking for two months' salary payout in lieu of notice.

Solution
Pay the two months and join the "dream company" after all your long-term prospects are important. To get something, you have to forgo something. In this case, it's probably your pocket, but that is the "price" you need to pay. Without getting into ethical, moral, and professional aspects, I would state, I do not see any confusion at all; it's pretty straightforward.
