I am an experienced professional with nearly 2 years of experience. My recent company I've been working with for 4 months, and due to shift timings, I caught up with some health concerns, and I had to make a switch. I got selected in a company, and they rolled out the letter too, but the catch was they wanted me to join early in a month or maximum 45 days (my NP is 2 months). I spoke with the new HR while she was rolling out the offer letter that I will try for 45 days and committed to them that I will join in 45 days as I was of the opinion that I will buy out the notice period.
Now, the new HR rolled out an offer letter with just the next day as the joining date, so I put in my resignation and confirmed my last working day to her. I resigned on the same day and asked her to give me a couple of days to speak with managers and supervisors. I spoke with my senior director, but nothing worked, and they are not ready to waive my NP by any means. My new HR is telling me that their client can't wait for 60 days due to billing issues, and she didn't call me back. I have a couple of questions: (Thanks in advance for reading them)
1. Does this mean that the offer letter they rolled out with a dummy joining date is void?
2. Can I expect a callback from them? As I have already resigned and tried my level best to convince my current employer.
3. Is it really the client's requirement, or are they just bluffing as many of my friends are saying they are bluffing, and 15 days don't matter for MNC as I am experienced; they should be flexible with the same.

Addressing Joining Period Challenges
There is really no solution to such problems. You state that you are an experienced professional, but you accepted an offer with a 45-day joining period when your notice period was 60 days with your existing/old company. What I can understand is that there will be issues regarding the joining date, which could be difficult to resolve, and there are no timely legal solutions other than the power of negotiation. No one can say whether the client has a requirement or if the company is bluffing. You need to look out for other opportunities now.
