Resigned Without a Job Offer: Was It the Right Move? Seeking Your Advice and Insights

Respected seniors,

Hope you all are doing well.

I am new to this forum. I have resigned from my current job (serving NP) without having received any offer in my hand due to some personal issues, and now I am looking for a job change. I am in a dilemma about whether resigning from my job without having any offer was the right decision. I kindly request your input and welcome any suggestions you may have.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, it's not good for your career. You should not resign without having an offer in your hand. But it seems in your last company you were facing some problems.

Hi Anonymous,

Since you are serving the notice period, you can make a request to your superiors to withdraw your resignation. The other option is obviously to search for a new job. It goes without saying that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So the correct thing to do is to make sure that you get a new job before you leave what you have. Experience will certainly improve your decision-making in the future.

The right or wrong decision depends on your priorities. Sometimes, we choose to manage personal issues first, which may lead to making unwanted or difficult decisions that affect our careers. However, if at that time it is the only way to handle the personal problem, then your decision is the right one because, with your experience and knowledge, you can secure another job. But if you made this decision randomly or by mixing personal and professional issues, then it was a wrong decision. In this case, you can follow the advice that Mr. V. Raghunathan specified in his comments.

Thanks.

Good evening Bhavya,

You have made the right decision because personal life is more important than the present job. Nothing to worry about resigning without an offer letter. As a new fresher, you can find more opportunities worldwide.

Wishing you all the best.
