Can I negotiate a later start date AFTER signing my new job's contract?

Signed a month ago for a starting date on Sep 1st, I didn't negotiate at all because so happy with being offered my dream job in another country

But I will be finishing my current internship on Aug. 27th, and haven't taken actual holidays since summer 2019 lol

Thought of asking for at least a week (of course the more the better, but yeah)

For context, it's a graduate program for Product management w/ a European unicorn

How would you go about asking? I'm afraid because it's been a month after signature already, it might be seen negatively...

Just ask. This happens all the time. Odd are they will just align you with the next hire class.

So simple yet 100% true - this is great, thanks C1!
Don't know why it feels so uncomfortable, guess I just have to overcome it 💪

Life happens. No one will care especially since it is too far out. Ask for a new start date

I am struggling to find a job in UX, I received my Master's in UX Design from Kent State University last year with a 4.0 GPA but that doesn't seem to matter. I have applied to hundreds of posts with barely any replies back. My education has taught me a lot however I feel I need the work experience to be taken seriously. I have applied to many junior and intern positions with no luck. How do I break in to the UX field with an education but no job experience?

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.

Hi! I just got converted to full time as a intern, and received this email about 401k which I don’t quite understand. Does the 3% means the match that company gives to me for free? So I don’t have to contribute anything to my 401k while getting free 3% match money? Thank you!!
