I am working in a manufacturing company and it is going to be 3 years in another few months of joining. I am working in off-role under the consultancy payroll. It was during the interview the hiring manager said I shall be on off-roll for 1 year and later you shall be inducted on-roll. Unfortunately, the hired manager resigned and left the job for better prospects as he had a higher offer before my completion of 1 year. The new manager who has replaced has not considered me either for on-roll or salary hike. I had good work performance, responsibility, and a do-saying attitude but there is no luck.

It is now 2.8 years passed, still I am getting the same salary for which I had been hired for. By communicating to the manager, he said to wait for 6 months and later for another 6 months. Finally after completing my 2nd year still it is not fruitful. Is it good to continue in off-role without a salary hike or shall I quit the job and look for better prospects?

Look out for another job, w/o quitting. Take into account the notice period and any formalities of your present company for the exit while negotiating with other companies. I am not aware of your qualifications, skills, etc., but seeing the job market where PhDs are applying for peon jobs, I would advise holding on to the job and continuing to earn while being active to get better opportunities. Probably in the meantime, do some skill development courses.

Hello. Thank you for the reply.

I have an MBA in HR. Currently, I am in the notice period of one month. I have been exploring new opportunities in other companies, but I have faced challenges due to the requirement of hiring people through references. Additionally, I have received a few job offers, but they were for off-role positions that do not interest me.

It is becoming challenging to continue working at my current company as I am finding it difficult to cover my monthly travel expenses.

I would appreciate any advice or assistance you can provide.

Thank you.

It's better that you go for any job in a company that is better than the past, either Off-Roll or On-Roll. Later, you can find a position that you have aimed for. Being unemployed doesn't give you a job. There are many who face challenges for a few months with no job. It's better to take what you can get, even if it offers a higher salary package than your previous job.
