Confused about early release vs joining date gap (need advice)
Hi everyone,
I’m in a bit of a career transition dilemma and need some advice.
I currently work at a company with a notice period. I recently got an offer from Accenture. My BGV has been completed,
and HR verbally mentioned a joining date around mid-August.
Now my current manager is ready to give me an early release within a week, and they are also saying they will pay me for the remaining notice period.
But I’m confused about what to do:
* If I take early release, I might have a gap of several weeks before joining Accenture.
* If I stay longer, I continue getting salary and reduce risk in case onboarding gets delayed.
I’m not sure which option is safer or more practical. I don’t want to end up with a long gap or risk anything with onboarding.
Has anyone faced something similar? What would you recommend in this situation?
Thanks in advance.
