Hi,
I was made a very tempting offer by "A" company, and they wanted me to join within 15 days with the willingness to buy out 1 month of my notice period, even though my notice period with my existing employer was 3 months.
My existing company said that I would need to serve at least a month's notice period and buy out the remaining 2 months for proper relieving.
Since I did not want the offer to slip out of my hand, I joined my new employer while simultaneously working for my old employer (both my new and old employers were unaware of this) until I completed the 1-month notice period. I was able to do so only because the workload at my old company was very light, and I do not report to anyone locally in my office.
When I get my relieving letter, the relieving date will be after my date of joining in my new company. Will the HR in my new company make an issue out of this? What options do I have to settle this amicably with my HR? The only intention behind me doing this is to get a proper relieving from my old company while not letting the new offer go out of my hand since the industry I work for is small.
Please advise.
