I’m interviewing for a very senior accounting role at a technology company and I have a pre‑planned 12‑day family trip this summer. I’m unsure when to disclose it during the interview/offer process: Part of me feels that if I mention it too early, they might choose another candidate; but if I wait until after an offer is extended, I don’t want it to seem deceptive. I’ve never been in this situation before and would appreciate any advice on the best timing and approach.

I wouldn't say anything until they ask/it comes up. 12 days really isn't that long

You tell them at the time you are accepting the offer

Yes after offer is presented in writing is best approach and to HR if there is an HR contact. They can decide that it not be paid depending on your offer/ prorated days based on start date, but offer shouldn’t be rescinded. Happens a lot hiring this time of year

When is your trip? early summer, mid-summer, or late summer?

I am thinking about waiting until you receive an offer, verbal or written, and bring it up then. Depending if and when you receive the job offer, maybe negotiate your start date to after your trip.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
