Is it okay to ask a company you’re exiting to (already got the offer, in negotiation stages now on comp/benefits) that you want wait a couple weeks before joining in order to allow a bonus to vest? Not sure if it’ll be seen as greedy or if it’s okay.

How far along in the process are you? This is totally normal to do but you need to be upfront about this as soon as you start taking comp.
Most companies should be fine w this as the alternative is them paying you the bonus you’re leaving on the table.

It shouldn’t. Be transparent and give them the option - adjust the start date or cover your bonus. It’s a common conversation

Ask to change your start date.

like

No. If they really prod, say you need to take some time off or that you are helping finish off a deliverable at your current employer.

Just tell the new company to cover the bonus too.

That or just say you need a few more to gather yourself and do admin stuff before starting new job.

Tell them the reason you want to delay your start date. If they really want you to start earlier, they might offer to pay it, but they’re not obligated to. If they don’t, they should still understand your reason for delayed start.

I have been considering going back to school but I left active duty 15 years ago and my Post 9/11 expired this summer.

Either way, I'm curious if anyone would know why I only received 25 months of education benefits. I was 100% active for 4 years, 3 deployments to Iraq, honorable discharge etc. And wondering if there is any way to extend my benefits and get the 36-48 months that seems to be standard.

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday.

Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?

2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
