Should have brought it up...before now

But you should tell them before you sign the letter for sure, as it could be a problem

I will after I sign - I don’t want my start date pushed. Need insurance and pay haha

You’ll be fine. Just make sure to tell them as soon as you can

I would tell them now... certainly by day 1

You literally email them and say you have vacation planned for that week

But after I sign? Don’t want them to push my start date

How do you tiptoe around discussing your previous job in an interview if it was really bad.

I want to get promoted and earn a higher wage, but I feel really intimidated and normally end up downplaying myself and asking for less in conversations. Any advice around how I can talk to my boss?
