As mentioned, its an agency, not a corporation. I work for the government

Hmm
I assume you relinquish benefits or contributions they would payout? or would they sue you? Could you persuade the prospective employer to buyout your contract?

A 3 month notice sounds horrifically anti-employee in a way I'm kinda shocked to hear about in Europe. I get that the 3 months also applies to employers but like, just because they are the same doesn't mean it's equal. As 3 months impairs employee opportunities a lot more than employers.

But assuming that's the norm I assume there has to be some sort of understanding. Like your new employer paying off your contract if they want you sooner than the contract allows.

Wait, are legally required to give a letter of notice to take a position at another company? 3 months notice is stipulated in the employment contract? I always figured the worker had more power in Germany.

Then you have to tell your new employers about your contract and what you're bound to. They should have asked during the interview before making you the offer...

The only other option is seeing if you can be let out of your contract early, because of circumstances. I don't know if they can or would, but you can certainly ask.

Still, though. That should be on your new employer to give you the time to fulfill your legal obligations if they want you on the team.

A 3 month notice period being legally binding is insane, and in stunned that it's actually legal.

But obviously you need to talk to the new employer and explain the situation. If they won't budge then talk to your current employer and try to see if you can negotiate down.

If the three month notice isn't legally binding, then just quit when the new job wants you to start. I know you say it's a contract, but what are the ramifications of violating the contract?

Is this in the U.S.? Also 3 months is ridiculous, what are you a secret agent? Do you like your old job? Are they loyal or are you just a good person with a sense of loyalty? Are you getting a better job?

No. Just explain this to them.

What do you do that you have to give three months notice?

Why is there even a doubt you could get the notice done in May. Just sent an email.

Are you under contract, or just the professional expectation to give 3 months?

But I'm wondering if guys in Germany

"Accidentally"? One does not simply walk into renfaire

Keep it at 50 karma. No need to test anything.

Thanks.

That's very good. For reference, the average PhD student salary in the US is 30k.

Is that a decent amount of pay? I don't know cost of living where you're at enough to know if that's good in your area. I know you said it is very cheap for Germany but that can be relative.

congratulations! in concrete terms, what kind of research / mathematical programming do you anticipate doing with the institute?

I like in "Yellow Submarine" how Ringo tries to pronounce PhD.

Nice going Teep!
What are your reservation about this offer? I'd think it would be a clear winner considering your current job.

Already sounds better than the current one

Nice! Enjoy grad school :)))
Happy to connect you with some German PhD students / professors if you have any questions
