I have a good exit opportunity. Three things concern me: 1. I’m about to refinance my mortgage and need to show work history of a couple of years at the same employer. 2. I vest into a pension on March 31st (about $12K) 3. Retention bonus of 6K on March 31st. How do I go about pursuing the exit opportunity but delaying the start date so I can handle these 3? They probably want to make me an offer in January. About to have lunch wit the hiring manager next week about next steps. Tips, please!

I think you can definitely bring up the mortgage concern, anyone would understand that(I hope), and push your start date to April. And if you’re in audit can also say you want to wrap up busy season before quitting

Agreed with PWC2… wait for the offer. They’re almost always willing to negotiate, especially with your kind of situation

Most definitely wait for the offer to discuss start date unless they specifically ask you. Then, you can bring up needing to give your current firm XX amount of notice and also taking a few weeks to yourself. The mortgage issue should be helpful too.

Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
