I am about to resign from my current role and would like some thoughts on how to tackle the question "Which company are you going to?" I definitely do not want to inform my current manager about my next role/company.
“I’d prefer not to discuss that” or something similar.
I’m curious, why don’t you wanna disclose that?
I have read about cases where the new job was messed up by vindictive collegues/manager. Not that my manager is like that but you never know which collegues might secretly hate you
This is true. Although it’s rare, I’ve personally seen when this happen.
One of the best things about moving on to a better role is shoving it in your management chain’s face. Why would you deprive yourself of that?
Because his comment above to heja - Capitalone makes complete sense. Now days in mediocre companies we have mediocre bosses and colleagues who can jealous as shit and can cause you to loose your jobs perhaps. Not sure how can that happen in depth but I believe there is a possibility.
But I mean they will find out when he actually starts and update LinkedIn, and they can still somehow badmouth him etc to the new employer?? Although I guess, you can never be too cautious?
I am considering 2-3 options currently, and have not finalized it yet. I would rather not say at this stage, but I will let you know once we finalize the agreement.
I like this since they cannot grill you further on it
This is gold standard of response. Go with it.
Just hand in your two weeks and if they ask why, tell them you’re taking time off to focus on life and yourself. If they ask where you’re going then tell them you’re not entirely sure yet but that it was a hard decision to make. They shouldn’t pry more from there. TC and YOE?
"Keep an eye out for when I update my LinkedIn." I usually say some variation of the above.
Will manager ask for salary, if we tell where I am going? How to handle if asked?
Tell them, if you are being underpaid maybe they’ll feel shitty. I’ve always told if they asked. I won’t be working with them anymore so idgaf.
I've never been asked for my future salary, except in the context of "we will match it if you stay." I would just say I don't feel that is appropriate to share if asked.
Just say you are following your passion to work as a scuba instructor in Costa Rica. They will all be so jealous
