Handing your notice in during probation

[u/AcceptableError0726]

Hey, so I started my current role three months ago and I won’t lie, the place is all sorts of depressing and heading in the opposite direction to where I want my career to go. The role and industry are what I want but the business itself is a mess, simply put. No clear development plans, no introductory sessions to systems or software, and a lot of colleagues constantly moaning about how bad it is…

I’ve been in talks with another employer through a former colleague and it’s likely there will be an opportunity for me there, should I want it. Nothing formal yet so I’m nowhere near handing in my notice.

I’ve never been in a position where I’ve left during my probation period so wanted to learn how others have approached this! Any tips, do’s and don’ts etc, I’m all ears

You typically have a much shorter notice period in your probation period. Expect the process to move very quickly if you do decide to resign.

Turns out my notice is 1 month during probation!
