Hello Sharks, I recently gave interview of Tiger Analytics and after all successful technical discussion, they were offering me Senior analytics - data Science role for 15.5 fixed + 2L jb, considering my current yoe 4.3 and in data science relevant is not much(consider it 1.5+) but my cctc is 14(13fixed+1 variable), I denied to accept this offer. Should I reconsider that?
Partner Interview (6th interview).
Good or Bad?
My referral had interviews w/ (1)
recruiter, (1) SM, then the series of
(3) 1:1's w/(1) MD and (2) SM's.
The recruiter said he will now have
an interview in Jan. w/ the PPMD.
He interviewed for a M role in
consulting for customer marketing.

He does have a wide skill set and the
recruiter said it was all positive
feedback, just have to find out
where to put him (on the team he
interviewed for or another he is
qualified for).Deloitte

You risk your offer getting rescinded due to hiring freeze or layoffs.
State your reasoning for the alternative start date. Although telling your recruiter that you need more time to adjust might sound like a lame excuse but it's honestly reasonable on your end as everything happened so fast. You don't have to tell them in detail, just say you have prior commitment for a more professional reason.
Tell your recruiter the honest reason or that you have prior commitments. Perhaps you could ask if you could complete alternative tasks in the meantime like attending a training session.
Honestly, I would start now but tell them you have some vacation time planned for the holidays and give some dates to still give yourself some time off. Otherwise you risk having your offer pulled or them moving forward with a different candidate.
Yeah this might be the easier way to frame it. You risk losing the offer if you say mental health I feel, but I think with holidays and stuff it's harder to push back since it's something set in stone if that makes sense
