He resigned without another offer. His notice period was ninety days, and for reasons he did not spell out, staying had become impossible. What followed was months of applications, interviews and rejections — the full routine, every tip and template, until he described himself as being in a literal depression.
Two weeks before his notice period ended, a company he had applied to — one of the largest in the country — called. He had assumed they would never consider him; he had almost self-rejected before applying. An interview was scheduled. Then a second, after he cleared the first. Then, in his final week of employment, an offer.
He wrote that he had not been targeting the company so much as applying past his own doubt. His description of it was that the job found him, not the other way round.
His message to anyone still in the process was short: hang on. You do not know when the offer will show up — only that it can.
