I’m leaving a Manager role to take a Director one. They are finalizing the formal offer letter now. I want to leave my current team on good terms, not drop the ball on projects I’m leaving. I’d also like (need) at least a week to refresh and reset and get organized before starting the new director role. I’ve been negotiating terms with the new place since September 3. We agreed on compensation yesterday. Is asking for a Nov 1 start date pressing my luck/being a jerk or totally reasonable?

Not at all. I had an offer letter in hand mid Sept. they wanted me to start 10/4. I wanted to get my bonus and finish up work on my project. I have a stat date 10/25. Giving me a week off after my last day.

Depends on the company & culture. I offered someone a job in July, and their start date is early December.

Might be a little delayed (so be ready for a no), but should be no harm in asking

Ask for Nov 1 and “if” they say no, negotiate back two weeks ie middle of October.

Not at all! I had a vacation scheduled smack in the middle of what would have been week 2 of my new job and I asked for a later start - ended up taking 4 weeks in between which was amazing

11/1 is perfectly ok.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for.

My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
