I have 4.9 years of experience in the IT industry as a developer. In my current company, I have been working for the past 6 months and am planning to resign due to personal issues. However, I aim to serve my notice period to ensure a smooth exit process.
Notice Period Waiver
1) If I resign, will the company waive my notice period without salary, even though I have agreed to serve the notice period of 2 months as stated in my contract? "The Company shall be entitled to terminate your employment with immediate effect upon payment of salary in lieu of the notice."
Experience Certificate
2) Will I receive an experience certificate for the 6 months of work?
Future Career Prospects
3) Will this job change affect my future career prospects?
Thank you

Before answering your query, let me make it clear that frequent job changes will not yield any dividends; rather, they can negatively impact your career development. In the IT sector, both large, reputable companies and smaller firms coexist. While smaller companies may not delve deeply into a candidate's background as they require individuals with specific talents, larger companies may thoroughly scrutinize a candidate's profile due to their well-established HR/Talent acquisition departments. If your goal is to reap substantial benefits from your work experience, it is advisable to stay with a company for a minimum period of 3-4 years and avoid changing jobs solely for monetary gain.
Now addressing your questions:
Point no.1 - The clause you mentioned applies in cases where the company terminates your services by providing payment in lieu of the notice period. If you decide to resign, you must serve the required notice period of 2 months or pay 2 months' salary in lieu of notice.
Point no.2 - As a common practice, companies issue experience certificates for employees who have worked for at least a year. However, you can request an experience certificate from the HR department or another authorized individual within your company.
Point no.3 - I have attempted to shed some light on the matter initially.

The answers to questions 1 and 2 can only be answered by your employer. None of us knows what your employer's protocols in this matter are. Is there no employee handbook that sets out conditions of employment?
