Could be as fast as over the weekend when you get the offer Friday tbh. They may get antsy if you want more than a week of buffer

Depends on the company. I recently received an offer letter on Friday but start date isn’t until November. I didn’t ask for that date and even said I’d be available to start asap but HR told me they have specific dates to on board people due to payroll cycles.

Hi everyone, I’m in need of prayers. My mom was admitted into the hospital recently, but they just found some nodules in her lungs.

Nothing has been finite, but I can’t help but prepare for the worst & hope for the best. The only thing getting me through this is my faith in God. I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️
