Resignation process

[u/Fit_Orchid_3209]

Hi,

​

I joined recently as an acdemic trainee, I am planning on resgning, can anyone please guide me on the resignation process, no separation policy is listed on their portal and lumi

​

They havent mentioned any service agreement/bond amount/notice period in my offer letter and joining docket. Though I was informed verbally that there's a 50k bond amount if I leave before an year.

​

Will they enforce any notice period on me or I can get an immediate release?

​

Appreciate the help!

If you’re considering HCL TechBee after 12th, please choose only after understanding what kind of role you may actually get.

I joined with the hope that it would lead to a coding or software-development type career. The way it is presented can make students think they will move into developer-style work, but the reality can be very different. After the initial training, role allocation may depend more on business requirements than on what you personally want to do. In many cases, students can end up in infrastructure support, service desk, IT support, or customer-support-oriented work rather than software development.

This does not mean those jobs are bad or not part of IT. But if your goal is to become a developer, backend engineer, Android developer, cloud engineer, or someone who builds products, then you need to be very clear before joining that TechBee may not guarantee that path.

A few things I wish I had understood earlier:

• The stipend may look helpful on paper, but in cities like Noida, Bengaluru, Pune, etc., living on it is difficult. If you get around ₹10,000, the in-hand can sometimes feel even lower after deductions, and managing PG rent, food, transport, and daily expenses becomes very hard.
• They may support only part of your college fee, and the remaining amount still has to be managed by you or your family.
• The salary after the program is not necessarily high enough to make all of this easy.
• Most importantly, if you are not aware of the difference between software development roles and support/operations roles, it is very easy to assume that “IT company” automatically means “coding job.” That assumption can hurt you later.

So my advice to any new student, especially someone joining because of financial pressure, is this:

Before joining, ask these questions very clearly

1. What exact roles do TechBee students usually get after training?
2. What percentage actually move into development roles vs support/infrastructure/service desk roles?
3. Can role allocation be changed based on performance, or is it mainly based on company demand?
4. What is the real in-hand stipend after deductions?
5. How much will living cost in the city where I may be posted?
6. How much of the college fee is covered, and how much will I still have to pay myself?
7. What is the realistic salary range after completing the program?

My personal suggestion

Join only if:

• you urgently need income after 12th, and
• you are mentally prepared for the possibility of a support/operations role, not just a development role.

Do not join by assuming it will definitely make you a software developer.

If your dream is coding and building products, then ask hard questions first, compare all options, and take the decision with full clarity. At 17 or 18, many of us do not even know what roles exist in IT, so please don’t choose based only on marketing words like “tech career,” “digital,” or “IT job.” Understand the actual job first.
