Hi all. I am a graduate fresher working for one of the Big 4 firms in India for the past three months. Due to family issues, I will be resigning and shifting to another city. I don't think I can even serve the complete notice period. In the future, when I apply at another company for a job, I don't want to mention my 3 months of working experience as it will create a bad impression. Is there any way the new company will know that I was previously employed at ABC company? If yes, what will give me away apart from the absconding tag which my company may give me? As my P.F. Account is already created, will my new employer know that my credentials are already registered in the P.F. database because of the new UAN system? I am planning to leave the company due to genuine family issues which need critical addressal. Please help me.

Dear Suri,
It's unfortunate that you have to leave a top company without gaining much exposure. If the real reason is due to a family issue, then you should mention your former company in your CV because your new employer will appreciate your honesty.

If you have a genuine family issue that cannot be sorted out without your presence, then go ahead and resign. Submit your resignation with a proper reason and obtain acknowledgment. Ensure the resignation is in writing and not through email alone. Be honest and open. I would not hide the fact in my CV, as it is always better to be open and honest about your working life. Whether UAN is there or not is not relevant here. Honesty is the best policy. As such, you have nothing to hide. People do quit for family reasons; why hide it and then suffer during BGV?

I disagree with the above comments. You claim to be resigning for family reasons, but I don't think most employers will believe that. You need to convince your employer to relieve you early, if needed, by paying the notice pay. A fresher working for a Big 4 for a quarter is not considered a critical resource.
When you go to a new firm, they will be able to trace your previous employment through your PAN number. That needs some effort but is possible. If they get a hint that you worked, they can find out. For all you know, the auditors may be from the firm you worked for earlier. As for being truthful with the new employer, no way. It makes no sense. You do not get appreciated for it; you get rejected, especially if they do a BVG and find out you absconded.

If your new employer is not convinced of your reasons for having left the earlier company, they may try to get to the bottom of the case to find out the truth. As my wise professional friends opined above, it is better to make a clean breast of the reasons than to try to hide and get caught later on.

What you mentioned about family issues doesn't really align with the other details you provided. Have you applied for another job, or do you already have one in hand, or are you in the process of applying? Given that you are a fresher and working in a Big 4 company, it would be foolhardy to think of changing now. It would be wise to look for ways to handle the family issues rather than disregard this experience.
Also, please note that you would be treated as a fresher all over again. No company would consider the three months of a fresher as any worthwhile experience. In fact, any experience of less than one year (some extend this to around two years) for a fresher isn't counted as real experience.
Even if you don't mention this period in your resume and the next company doesn't bother to do any background verification, what's at stake is your career in the long run. This would be all the more relevant if you joined here through campus.
To reiterate, it would be wise to look for ways to handle the family issues rather than disregard this experience, including the brand name, from a long-term perspective. I suggest you give it serious thought and decide.

Hi,
My suggestion would be: do not abscond from your current company. Try to be genuine with your new employer. Serve the notice period or pay the basic amount of 2 or 3 months, whatever is stated in the offer letter.

Please go out with best wishes. Speak to HR and perhaps you can succeed in convincing them to waive off the notice period. Don't carry any absconding tag, and we should be professional, and the relationship has to be enduring. You may not know you may have to deal with the same company in the future, who may be your client.
