Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?

Seems reasonable if you say it’s because of the delay in the drug screen.

The saga continues. After all this time, the result came back as negative, diluted. And they’re making me retake. JFC.

Are you worried about a break between end of your current job and start date?

Yes I would’ve loved to have a break because I’m super burned out. But I’m worried about a lot of other things too. Mostly that my offer is still in the contingent phase for this long. It makes me uneasy. They told me they’re sending me my computer soon, to start my remote work, but I’m still uneasy of this whole thing. Why would they make me retake a negative result after all this time? Do they really think I have a drug problem? It’s so strange. I suppose they have a policy in place and they must follow it.

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
