When accepting the offer, you mention to your recruiter that you already had some prior engagements that you’ve already had planned time off for

Let your employer know, you’ll likely be doing training so why not?

This is actually more common than you would think. Just contact HR or your future boss and let them know before you start. That’s a better look than asking for a vacay two weeks in.

Ah! I didn’t realise you do this at acceptance! I accepted my offer a while ago!

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example

How has Covid impacted your fringe benefits? Travel perks (miles, points, per diem, meals, client events, etc.) we’re a major selling point in joining my firm. Our travel has been all but slashed, but I’m not seeing any consolidations to make up for these lost benefits.
