Is it not risky to resign after receiving offer of appointment from new employer.?

Answer 1

My rule of thumb is get the offer in writing. I make no moves until I see the ink. Yes its risky, but its done every day. The main thing is to be gracious and don't burn any bridges.

Answer 2

if you want control of how you want to leave do not resign until the day you are ready to leave. Especially if the position is the same type of employment you have now. Most employers will call security and have you escorted out as soon as the know you're leaving. They claim to do this because of company secrets that they think you will take with you. But its very humiliating. Good luck.

Answer 3

His past service may be counted for qualifying period for retirement benifit.In some cases lien to the parent organisation is also kept for a specified period within which he may return back to his parent department.
