Hi, I am leaving my job because of a salary issue. I don't want to stay in the same company even if they increase my salary, so I have decided that in a one-on-one discussion with my manager, I will explain that I am leaving the job because I am going to start my own business or pursue higher studies. This way, the employer won't try to retain me, and I won't have to answer their potentially difficult questions.
Please advise whether you think I am making the right decision.

Firstly, you are leaving your job because of a salary issue, but you are saying that your salary has also been increased. I would like to know what the issue is, if you don't mind. Is it a lesser salary offered even after the increase? Or is it a delayed salary transfer? Or something else.
Secondly, are you actually good enough that they might want to retain you?
Thirdly, their questions will not be stupid. They have to run a company that is made up of people. If you are so confident in yourself, I think you should tell them the reason clearly. Even if they try to retain you, it's not compulsory for you to stay. The company will still continue its operations even after you. Your content written does not indicate any level of attachment you would have with your company. So, be clear and discuss things openly with them.

It's good that you are moving to the next company. It's nothing new for a company and management; people come and go. It is part of life. But to make the company a better place to work, management has to have discussions with outgoing employees. If the employee is good, they will definitely try to retain them, but no one will force the employee to stay.
It's your call whether you want to move ahead. You should be confident and give your honest feedback if asked. Regarding the reason for leaving, there are many professional words; the most commonly used are better career opportunities and personal reasons. It is a proven fact that most employees do not leave organizations for money; there are many other factors behind it.

Hi Ashlesha, there has been no salary hike until now. The hike will be implemented in July. I am currently handling a project independently and have made a good impression on the client. Therefore, the company may consider retaining me. Another aspect to consider is that during my joining, I verbally communicated that I would attempt to stay for at least one year. Hence, they may extend this period.
The offer I have received is exceptional in all aspects. I am eager to join this company, despite them offering me a lower salary than my previous employer. I am compelled to accept this offer under less than ideal circumstances. At this point, I am no longer willing to continue working here. I plan to inform them that I am leaving due to personal reasons, such as pursuing further studies or starting a business.
Regards.

After going through your post, I understood that:
1. You are not satisfied with your Salary Part.
2. You are happy with your Roles & Responsibilities.
3. You are not reflecting maturity levels in your professional life.
The point is, why are you not trying to be honest in your transactions? You need to talk to yourself and sort out your own issues rather than getting confused. Forget about the company as a whole; it's all about your:
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Productivity/Performance Levels
- Pay Factors
- Employees Associated with You
These attributes define your Job Satisfaction Level. "Whatever you think you are, you will be. If you think you are weak, you will be weak; if you think you are strong, you will be strong." Implement this proverb in your life and don't make decisions in a state of emotions. Balance yourself and manage yourself much better.
Good luck.

Follow what pon1965 says. Don't give too many fake reasons. I guess the company will also be happy in the long run to know that you are not a part of it anymore.
You have taken up this job because of some conditions and situations you faced. Nothing personal, but I would have never invested time in any person who says in the first place that they will try to stay with me for 1 year.
In a way, all replies to this post also reflect to what extent a person can go to give fake reasons for leaving. All the best to all...!!

This is neither the right way nor the right approach. Your employer will eventually find out the truth. What will you do then? It is advisable to be honest. Remember, you may need to provide references from your current employer to your future employers, and at that time, they might discover that you lied. So, it's best to speak the truth and maintain a clean record.

I believe there is no reason to lie to the company. You must clearly state that you are moving for better prospects. Nobody can hold you against your wish. You have to be strong to fight your own battle and not hide behind silly excuses. Remember, you have given a commitment, maybe verbal, to stay for a year, and now you are backing out. Don't add further lies. Face the matter upfront, discuss the real reason for your leaving, and be firm in your decision to leave. It would be good for you and the company too. Nobody would like to retain an unsatisfied employee.

As a professional, it is not the right approach to tell a lie. It is worth telling the truth and making your intention clear that you don't want to negotiate. After all, it is a mutual agreement between you and your employee and can be terminated with due notice. So why spoil a good relationship as we are in a very dynamic environment? Maybe you have to meet or interact with the same people at some other place also, and you will have to face embarrassment.
Finally, telling the truth will save you from many troubles as you have to take one-time pain, then all things will fall into place.

To me, you seem to be in an emotional state. Chill out and think objectively to ensure why you are leaving. There is no reason to give false answers; you are deceiving yourself, not the present company. If there are any issues you feel aggrieved about, you can always talk to your senior in a polite manner. No one likes to lose a good employee. If you have already decided to leave, there is no reason to be bitter. It is a professional decision, and people do move on. Avoid creating unnecessary bad relationships. You may not know where and who you will meet in the future.
Reading your responses, the impression I get is if you were working for me, I would be glad you are leaving. That is not a very good sign. Never lose your composure, especially in writing.

There is a saying in English, "Tell the truth, but not the whole truth." Thus, you do not have to say why you joined for a lesser salary. You can say that you are moving ahead for better prospects.

Sorry, I didn't want to dishearten you. Remember the story of Aesop, where a father and son were riding a donkey, and they kept taking turns riding it; still, people kept advising them to do something else. You are the best judge of your situation, and no one can provide ready-made answers. Do the right thing that your heart tells you, and think positively. People do not remember the reasons; they only remember the impressions you leave. Leave gracefully if at all you have to leave. Always remember, trying to avoid confrontation or discomfort by telling a lie will always end up in trouble in the long term. Don't get used to getting out of a situation by telling a lie; it does not serve any purpose. It may sound like a sermon, but hard work and smart work always pay.

Salary Satisfaction: A Myth?
When is anybody satisfied with their salary? If one gets X, they want X+ and it goes on. Therefore, salary should not be your reason for leaving. Introspect and see if the role is satisfying; if so, stay. What is the guarantee that the next company you go to is better than the present one? The other side of the fence is always greener. A known devil is better than an unknown angel. Beware.
And finally, no company wants to know the reason for your resignation (unless you are in a very senior position). You can always say, "for better prospects."

I believe that if you have already decided to move on, then you should stay with that decision. No company will force the employee unless some legal document has been signed. Secondly, you should be careful in writing (saying stupid things to the company management does not sound good). If you are frustrated with your profile or with some monetary gain, then I would suggest you resign. Also, before doing this, you should have some other alternative offers available.
Whatever the reason for leaving is, state the same reason to your company. This is important if you have gained a good amount of experience with your current organization. The world is too small; you never know where you will meet your ex-colleagues or the management. I wish you all the best.

Dear Yasha, this is not the right way to leave a job. When leaving a job, you should depart on a positive note, even if you are not satisfied with your salary and roles.

Thank you all for your nice suggestions. However, if I mention salary as the reason to my present employer, I believe it might be difficult for them to accept. They may start cross-questioning me, stating that I should not have joined the company if I felt the salary was low. They may not understand my situation or the frustration I am experiencing. I only joined here because I had no other option at that time. People with my experience are earning more than me. It is always easy to teach a lesson to others but very difficult to understand someone else's situation.
I also aspire to grow and earn more in my life. However, most companies are selfish. They never consider their employees; their sole aim is to maximize profit. Not all employees are as professional. Thus, it may be better to deceive them.

- People leave a company because the salary is low.

The Importance of Honesty When Leaving a Job
For leaving a job, everyone (mostly) gives fake reasons instead of providing real ones. If we provide actual reasons, at least most companies will consider that there might be issues with management and try to address these problems. So, others will benefit at least to some extent.

Enough has been said on the post. It is always better to express oneself. Subsequent to your notice of resignation, you may mention your contributions (briefly) and express that you have not been appropriately rewarded in your remuneration. By doing so, you will be providing honest feedback to your employer and HR. The exit interview is another opportunity to express yourself. One should always strive to handle situations and lead to learning situational management.

First of all, no one can force you to stay in the company. It is always advisable that whenever you are quitting, you should try to maintain healthy relations with the company because you never know when you may have to come back to the same company. Also, the company will not be at a big loss because organizations are process-dependent and not people-dependent, so they do not solely depend on people.
Also, you mentioned that you have made a commitment; it's okay if you are not able to live up to it for some reasons of your own, but it may spoil your name in the job market of your domain.
So, try to quit your job gracefully.

You are now about to leave your organization. The basic reason behind that is simply job dissatisfaction. As you are one of the members of the citehr team, you know that it is important for the organization to know the cause behind your decision through an exit interview. So, don't be stressed; tell the truth to your boss in a one-on-one interaction. Then it's totally up to you to start your own business, pursue higher studies, or do something else.

Disclosing the Real Reason for Leaving

The Importance of Skilled Employees
Nowadays, there is a crunch for skilled employees. If you are truly skilled in the area where you are supposed to be posted, the new employer will not be concerned about the reasons for leaving your previous company. Employers are generally more focused on the character of prospective employees and want to ensure that the prospective employee, if appointed, will not be detrimental to the company. The unemployment problem is slowly disappearing, and the non-availability of skilled employees has become a serious issue. If one is honest and not involved in any illegal activities or malpractices, that should be sufficient to work in any company.
Sharing Reasons for Leaving a Job
From my experience, it is important to be bold and share some reasons before leaving a job. This allows employers to understand that the salary does not commensurate with the work, leading the employee to leave the company.

1. Most companies conduct reference checks. If the HR of your company finds out that you lied, they might provide negative feedback to your new employer.

If you are in the middle of a project and you are the only person who could handle this project, then you should clarify your position in front of the management regarding your new offer. It is very obvious and sounds unprofessional on your part to state a confusing reason behind your decision to leave the job. They will try to retain you only if you are satisfied with the agreed conditions. If you feel that you cannot be satisfied with the same, then state the reason and leave the job.
Best of luck

You should be fair; there may be a chance at a later date when you may meet the same boss in some other company, and you may likely work under the same company subsidiary. Hence, it is advisable to communicate coolly that you have a better offer and position to enhance your capabilities in a challenging environment.
All the best.

Your words simply explain your disinterest in working with the present organization. In this situation, I would suggest you stick to your point and inform them that you have received an opportunity that would help you advance your career. Be firm in expressing your situation. Instead of waiting for them to reach out to you for a discussion, take the initiative to ask for their time to discuss the process of your departure. Make it clear that you have reached out to discuss your last working day and not to negotiate a new offer. This approach should help. Good luck!

Hi Everyone, Even I am also in the same situation. I can compromise with the salary as well. However, the fact I want to emphasize is my boss. I can describe my company as a "Greedy Boss & Angry Manager." They will scold us if something goes wrong. My boss never accepts his mistake; he wants people to say yes to all his questions. I always used to answer his questions not simply by saying yes. As a result, a lot of miscommunication happens between me and my boss. Despite this, they like me because I am more productive than others. Therefore, they are not showing their faces to me. Nevertheless, I am worried because the same situation may happen to me at any point in time.
Thus, I do not have a valid reason to say that I want to move on to the next company. If I am honest, they will try to address my concerns and persuade me to stay here.

I undoubtedly agree with the comments made by a few members above. They have mentioned a valid point that you have not stated the reason for leaving your job, nor are you sure about it. At one point, you mention leaving due to a salary issue, and then you mention that they are increasing your salary, yet you are still leaving the job. This inconsistency sounds awkward and immature. If you do not have a clear reason for leaving your current job, how can you blame the company for a salary issue or any other reason? If they are increasing your salary to retain you, it indicates they want you for the long term. However, if you are uncertain about why you want to quit, it raises questions.
Providing false reasons like starting a business or pursuing higher studies may serve a purpose, but you could be potentially jeopardizing a good and stable career. I recommend being clear about your reasons for leaving the job. It may not be solely a salary issue but could be related to your colleagues or superiors.
