One thing to consider is that, assuming you'll have to take PTO to go to on site interviews, it will very quickly become clear what you are doing. If that leads to your boss pushing for your raise, it could solve your problem though I find that unlikely. But as your manager will quickly figure out you're looking for a new job, you will need to move very quickly. | |

as you can do it full time on the ex employer's dime But 2-3 months is a VERY short time to find a new job, regardless of the field. Especially if you are looking for something specific. And in IT, the hiring processes are very drawn out nowadays. Usually 5-6 interviews and a couple technical tests, and at least 6-8 weeks before even getting to the offer/negotiation stage, and you might even risk getting a final low-ball offer that you have to refuse. Which is of course why you should court multiple positions at the same time, if you are seriously looking for a new job.

| Sep 13, 2018 at 8:15 | comment | added | Leliel | In many countries it's required to pay out the notice period regardless of if the employee works or not. This can be an advantage when jobhunting to some extent, as you can do it full time on the ex employer's dime. | |
| Sep 13, 2018 at 3:33 | comment | added | user5151179 | Wouldn't a 3 month notice period cut both ways? If I (in .au) had to give 3 months notice (I don't, it's 2 weeks for me, 4 weeks is common), and they booted me on giving said notice, I would be paid out for said notice period. | |
