3 months? So if you accept an offer today, it would be customary to stay until April? That's incredible. How are job tenures in Norway? Where I am, lots of peo

  Yeah, you would start your new job at May 1st if you sent in your resignation during January. It's a bit long I feel, when I first resigned last year (in January, even), I mentally started to check out towards the end. A month or two is fine to wrap things up. But 3 months + what's left of the current month was a bit much. But as I said, it goes both ways, and it's almost impossible to get fired here, so it's worth it for the peace of mind knowing you'll always get paid next week, month etc. Where I worked before the avg employee had worked there for about 3-4 years, and that number was heavily influenced by the new hires not having had the opportunity to work that long yet, even. I feel that's true for many of my friends as well, those having switched a few jobs since graduating have stayed avg ~3 years.

  In many places in Europe it's 1 month for regular roles and 2 months for leadership. And it's 3 or 6 months for being fired.

  Poland also has 3 months (on the most popular type of job contract). If you just joined you are on a 'test period' of sorts where the notice is 2 weeks and after that ends (3 months as well I think, but maybe this may vary) you have the 3 months notice. Note that if both parties agree it can end sooner, they can also fire you straight up and forbid you working if they don't want you to but they still need to pay your salary for the entire notice period.
