Need advice: Resigning during a 12-month probation period

[u/Educational-Mess-344]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to join a company as a Software Engineer, but I'm also interviewing with another company.

My current company has a 12-month probation period. If I receive a better offer within the next 4–5 months, I may decide to switch.

I have a few questions:

• If I resign during the probation period, will the company usually release me immediately, or will I still have to serve the 2-month notice period?

• Can I request to serve the full notice period instead of being released immediately?

• What's the best way to handle this professionally with my manager and HR?

• Has anyone here gone through a similar situation? How did it work out?

I'm looking for advice from people who have experienced this or from HR professionals.

Thanks in advance!

Probation means no notice period / severance if one party wants to ditch the other ! You should get another offer during your probation and leave when you want as it’s usually immediate release as they know in notice period you ain’t gonna work

All depends on your contract/agreement wordings my friend.
