My First Company Switch

Hello people, I am making my first company switch. I have cleared the interviews of the new company and got the confirmation of the offer (verbally). The offer letter is yet to be received. I have a couple of questions, please let me know how these things work: 1.I need to resign my current company only after receiving the offer letter. Is that correct? And the new company will send the joining letter couple of days before joining. Correct? 2.Do I need to inform my team or my manager before filling the resignation letter on my current company's web portal? Or do I just fill the resignation form and let them know on their own? 3. Any important documents that I need to collect before leaving my current company? These questions might seem basic, but I am a novice.

1. Absolutely, Resign only after receiving the formal offer letter (with details like salary and start date). The new company will likely send a joining letter with specific details a few days before your start. 2. Yes, that's a good idea. It will show your professionalism and flexibility and ensure a smooth handover. 3. Ask HR for your experience letter, relieving letter, pay slips, and any non-disclosure agreements you might have signed.

Listen, wait for the offer letter before resigning, inform your manager first, and collect important documents like your experience letter, salary slips, and any pending reimbursements.

About the resignation process – the moment you submit your resignation, you should ideally stop doing anything extra for the company.

Wait, you're switching already? I thought you should at least give your current company a heads-up if you plan to leave. My advice is, don’t be too eager to jump without informing them first. If they don’t know, it’ll hit them like a surprise

[a management consultant](username) It's a personal choice, honestly. I told my boss last minute, and they were fine with it.

Make sure to collect any company documents like your work laptop receipt, certificates, and any legal documents you signed.

[a team lead](username) Good point! I didn’t ask for my experience letter when I left my first job and had to chase HR for it later. So, definitely ask for that along with your final settlement.
