Need advice: HR of a small IT company in Mumbai insists on a written email confirmation that I’ll join in 30 days, only then they’ll issue an offer letter. My notice period is 60 days but can reduce to 45. I mainly want the offer letter to negotiate with another company, as this one has a 6-month probation and 1-year bond. Is it wise to commit in writing to joining in 30 days if I don’t intend to join? Seeking guidance on how to handle this tactfully.
I wouldn’t agree to a notice period you can’t commit to. It could backfire on you.
If you don’t give them written confirmation, then somebody else will do it.
It’s bad to bargain with offer letter/s to get highest package possible.
Hiring manager and HR hate such candidates, also with current market condition in India you are on losing side for sure.
If you like the project, interviewing people + company online reviews from company then just accept and love the work you get.
All the very best
