Help needed!Non-EU on B permit

Dear all,

i am a non-EU citizen living in Basel for 2 years a as a postdoctoral training. My postdoc training became too toxic to deal with. therefore, i started looking for new jobs and i did land a new job and signed a contract with them, After signing a new job contract, i quit my old job. i was supposed to start my new job from 1st of March(home office based). The company has a headquarter in canton Zug so they applied for my permit issuance from canton Zug. Nevertheless, i was recently told by the HR that despite having good profile and all, they rejected my permit saying that the company doesn’t have an office in Canton Zug and i will be based on Canton Basel. and When asked, canton Zug told them to apply the permit from the company where there is a physical office.
It seems that they really want to keep me. They have now decided to file my permit from canton Vaud, where there is an office of another company recently acquired my new company.
Now, my issue is

  1. i quit my job and i am unemployed from 1st of March. Since my permit -B id tied to my employment, i am not sure if i am supposed to inform the Gemeinde of my situation.
  2. how long can i stay in Switzerland on my B permit if i quit my job and my application is being reviewed?
  3. what should i do if canton Vaud also rejects my application? can i enter into RAV and look for jobs. i am not sure if i can as i quit my job. but, may be there are possibilities if i am not aware of.

i would really appreciate feedback and information

Thank you
