Almost done with the lateral hiring process. Assuming I get an offer, how acceptable would it be to try asking to push back the start date a couple months? I’m getting married in August and it would work out perfectly to start at the new firm shortly thereafter. I don’t want to take time off immediately. Anyone have experience with this?

I do! But kind of the opposite. Started a new job but they wouldn’t push back the start date. I told them I will need time off for the wedding and would rather start later. They said there will be a ramp up period and it will be OK to take the time off soon after starting.

I’d suggest being upfront about it and telling them about your wedding and how many days you need off- they’re not going to be dicks about it (hopefully). Because it’s in August, I doubt they’re going to let you push back your start date that many months so better to give them a heads up and roll with it!

I got an offer end of may and started in august, but I was moving states and joined a chill firm. I think it’s very firm dependent (other firms I applied for wanted me to start ASAP), but if you don’t ask you def won’t get it.

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
