Generally, 6 weeks from accepting the offer is about the limit, especially considering everyone is desperate for talent right now. Best I did was 2 months, using ‘i have a trip planned for [7 weeks from now] so I can start [5 weeks from now] if you guys prefer, but I’d need that time off’

That said, remember it could take you some time to find a job. Start date might qualify as a ‘cross that bridge when you come to it’ problem 😏

Why October? Bonus payout? New company may be able to offer sign on that’s comparable

I’m getting married in September so would want to start the job after the whole thing

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Interviews need to be monitored and recorded. I can’t tell you how many disappointed dreams I have been sold. It is a complete waste of time to really wait around to be wishful of a call. Gathering up 10 potential applicants to narrow it down to a top 3 and only make one offer is not acceptable. Much like jury duty, applicants should be compensated for their time.
