Considering resigning without an offer and need honest opinions. Current situation is pretty bad: no real development work, mostly idle or on support, wrong tech stack, terrible leave policy and zero technical growth in sight. Talked to my manager about early release, he refused. The 90-day NP is killing every opportunity."He added, "Recruiters call, then ghost the moment they hear it. I even got an offer once by being vague about my NP but it fell apart when the real timeline came out."(Also read: ‘Please gather any personal items and head home’: Meta tells laid-off employees.

When people ask me why, my answer is simple nowadays every recruiter wants maximum 30 days or immediate joiners. Nobody is even willing to schedule an interview if you have 90 days. So why hold on to a job that is giving me nothing while also blocking every opportunity outside?" he wrote.The post was shared with the title, "Thinking of resigning without an offer because of 90-day NP."Take a look here at the video:Reddit users share mixed reactionsThe post has garnered several reactions, with many users sharing practical advice and personal experiences.
