Hi Fishes! Needed your help. This is my first job. I have an offer from a startup (very well known) and I'm in the process of interviewing for a Big 4 org. I'm in a dilemma because the startup wants me to join on 31st oct while the big4's 3rd round will be held on 1st nov or later. I prefer joining the big4 org more. A little helpless situation because of the diwali holidays. Can I delay the offer for a week more? I had mentioned to them that I'm a immediate joiner also. Please help.

Big 4 is not worth the hype to be very honest. You will be working 12 hours daily.

Yes, you can request for delay in joining.

But, just give a genuine reason.
More serious the reason is, more is your chances of joining date extension.

Yeah delay them. Tell any reason bcz for 1 week they can surely delay. 👍

Go for startup...
