Have a start date for a new role at the beginning of Feb, I want to push it back a couple of weeks to take care of some personal stuff. Will they care that much or should I avoid pushing it back?

Is this a start date you agreed to months ago or did you just get the role and are available to start in Feb?

Right. I personally wouldn’t unless it’s absolutely necessary but it also depends on how much of a push back you’re talking about and if it was initially an option for you to start later and you just didn’t take it at the time

Grad scheme or experienced hire? If the latter then definitely push back

Experienced hire

Just talk to them. Explain that personal stuff came up and you don’t want any distractions when you start so you can hit the ground running.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
