Hi,
I am leaving my job because of a salary issue. I don't want to stay in the same company even if they increase my salary, so I have decided that in a one-on-one discussion with my manager, I will explain that I am leaving the job because I am going to start my own business or pursue higher studies. This way, the employer won't try to retain me, and I won't have to answer their potentially difficult questions.
Please advise whether you think I am making the right decision.

Hi Yash,
Firstly, you are leaving your job because of a salary issue, but you are saying that your salary has also been increased. I would like to know what the issue is, if you don't mind. Is it a lesser salary offered even after the increase? Or is it a delayed salary transfer? Or something else.
Secondly, are you actually good enough that they might want to retain you?
Thirdly, their questions will not be stupid. They have to run a company that is made up of people. If you are so confident in yourself, I think you should tell them the reason clearly. And even if they try to retain you, it's not compulsory for you to stay. The company will still continue its operations even after you. Your content written does not indicate any level of attachment you would have with your company. So, be clear and discuss things openly with them.

Hi Yash,
It's good that you are moving to the next company. It's nothing new for a company and management; people come and go. It is part of life. But to make the company a better place to work, management has to have discussions with outgoing employees. If the employee is good, they will definitely try to retain them, but no one will force the employee to stay.
It's your call whether you want to move ahead. You should be confident and give your honest feedback if asked. Regarding the reason for leaving, there are many professional words; the most commonly used are better career opportunities and personal reasons. It is a proven fact that most employees do not leave organizations for money; there are many other factors behind it.

Hi Ashlesha,
There has been no salary hike until now. The hike will be implemented in July. I am currently handling a project independently and have made a good impression on the client. Therefore, the company may consider retaining me. Another aspect to consider is that during my joining, I verbally communicated that I would attempt to stay for at least one year. Hence, they may extend this period.
The offer I have received is exceptional in all aspects. I am eager to join this company, despite them offering me a lower salary than my previous employer. I am compelled to accept this offer under less than ideal circumstances. At this point, I am no longer willing to continue working here. I plan to inform them that I am leaving due to personal reasons, such as pursuing further studies or starting a business.

Dear Yash,
I understand the frustration you are experiencing regarding switching jobs. If you aim to increase your earnings, it may be beneficial to move to the next company. However, please keep in mind that frequent job changes may not reflect well on your CV for future top management positions. While you may gain broad learning experiences through multiple switches, you may not acquire in-depth knowledge that could be essential for handling future responsibilities effectively.
My suggestion is to consider switching companies 2-3 times within a span of 1 to 2 years and then settle in the third company for a longer duration.
Regarding your current concern, you could consider taking a five-day medical leave and then presenting a fake medical certificate on the sixth day, citing an abdominal issue that requires an operation and a 45-day rest period. Alternatively, you could inform your employer that you are relocating to your hometown to take over your father's or in-laws' business.
I hope this meets your needs.
Best regards,
From India, Madras

Simply put it like this:
As I have located better prospects elsewhere, I have decided to tender my resignation from the services of the company w.e.f. xxxxxxx. I request you to release me on or before xxxxxxxx as per the terms of the appointment letter.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Yash,
After going through your post, I understood that:
1) You are not satisfied with your SALARY PART.
2) You are happy with your ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES.
3) You are NOT REFLECTING MATURITY LEVELS in your PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
The point is, why are you not trying to be honest in your transactions? You need to talk to yourself and sort out your own issues rather than getting confused. Forget about the company as a whole; it's all about your:
A) ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES,
B) PRODUCTIVITY/PERFORMANCE LEVELS,
C) PAY FACTORS, and
D) EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATED WITH YOU.
These attributes define your JOB SATISFACTION LEVEL. "Whatever you think you are, you will be. If you think you are WEAK, you will be WEAK; if you think you are STRONG, you will be STRONG." Implement this proverb in your life and don't make decisions in a STATE OF EMOTIONS. Balance yourself and MANAGE yourself MUCH BETTER.
Good luck.
With profound regards

Follow what pon1965 says. Don't give too many fake reasons. I guess the company will also be happy in the long run to know that you are not a part of it anymore.
You have taken up this job because of some conditions and situations you faced. Nothing personal, but I would have never invested time in any person who says in the first place that he will try to stay with me for 1 year.
In a way, all replies to this post also reflect to what extent a person can go to give fake reasons for leaving. All the best to all...!!

This is neither the right way nor the right approach. Your employer will eventually find out the truth. What will you do then? It is advisable to be honest. Remember, you may need to provide references from your current employer to your future employers, and at that time, they might discover that you lied. So, it's best to speak the truth and maintain a clean record.

I believe there is no reason to lie to the company. You must clearly state that you are moving for better prospects. Nobody can hold you against your wish. You have to be strong to fight your own battle and not hide behind silly excuses. Remember you have given a commitment, maybe verbal, to stay for a year, and now you are backing out. Don't add further lies. Face the matter upfront, discuss the real reason for your leaving, and be firm in your decision to leave. It would be good for you and the company too. Nobody would like to retain an unsatisfied employee.
Best of luck.
