Career Advice

Hi everyone,
I’m currently serving a 90-day notice period at my present company, and unfortunately, they are not allowing an early release or buyout option. Recently, I received a great offer from another organization, but they require an immediate joiner.

Since I can’t join them immediately, they’ve suggested that I work for them during my notice period as a moonlighter.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? What are the potential risks—legal, professional, or ethical—of doing this? What would be the best way to handle this situation?

Appreciate your thoughts and experiences!

Day to Day Office

I’ve noticed this happening more and more in my company and even in some big names where Gen Z employees just leave without any prior notice. Not even serving the notice period… sometimes not even officially resigning. Just disappearing.

And honestly, as millennials, we still feel guilty just writing the resignation email. So when we hear someone say “maza nahi aa raha” and leave without any process, it really makes us pause.

If you think HR doesn’t keep track of this, or it won’t matter later please know that it can affect future opportunities.

Leaving a job is totally okay. But leaving professionally and respectfully? That matters too. 

Let’s not burn bridges before we even cross them.

Gen Z, please stop ghost quitting

Career Growth

I’ve noticed this pattern more than once.
The more successful a man is at work, the more distant he becomes emotionally.

My last partner had a great job at a top finance firm. Big salary. Fancy LinkedIn profile. But when it came to feelings? It felt like I was dating someone who just wasn’t there.

And honestly, I don’t care how much money someone makes if they can’t even have a simple, honest conversation.
That’s not ambition, that’s emotional neglect in a suit.

So I’m wondering does growing in your career implies you have to stop showing emotions?
Or is this the "New Normal" now.
Would love to know what you think.

Can someone be both successful and emotionally mature? Or is it always one or the other?

Why Is Emotional Effort Not Part of the Resume?

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

Avoid overtalking in interviews speaking from experience
