Be transparent about the situation and see if they can give you a signing bonus to cover the commission you would have made so you can start earlier.
Will depend on the size of the check, seems under $25k is manageable..
It depends on how badly they want you. Can't hurt to ask, but don't be surprised if they push back for a sooner start date. 2 months is a long time to wait.
It’s reasonable to ask, but expect to be told they can’t wait that long for you to start and push you toward a sooner start date. 6 - 8 weeks is a long time to wait for an AE to transition.
You can also say that your notice period is 4 weeks and that you are available after that. Most companies have 4 weeks if not more.
yeah I had a coworker say something similar just to she could have some time off in between and relax a bit. It should work in your case too
In Sweden notice time is 3 months. So I guess its a cultural thing and the rules are different in all countries to what is expected.
Notice periods are pretty common so it shouldn't be unreasonable to ask
I work in sales compensation and if you close the deals they are legally supposed to pay you since you’ve earned it (unless it says somewhere in your comp plan that they don’t but that would be nuts).
