Hey folks,

Need some real-world advice here.

I’m currently working at Accenture INDIA with a 90-day notice period, but I’ve got an opportunity where they want me to join in \~45 days. I’m planning to put my resignation this Monday.

Problem: My manager is honestly very rigid and not the kind who’ll easily agree to an early release.

I’m trying to figure out what actually works in these situations:

Has anyone successfully negotiated down from 90 → \~45 days?

What reasons/stories actually work? (medical, family, higher studies, etc.)

Does buyout realistically help, or do managers still block it?

How much depends on HR vs manager approval in Accenture?

I don’t want to burn bridges, but I also don’t want to lose the new offer.

Would really appreciate practical strategies (not textbook HR answers 😅)

Thanks!
