is it possible to negotiate a later start date (say I ask for a month off in between jobs)?

I think that is actually really normal. Just tell the company when you want to start. No biggie and you don't need to give them a reason

If the other company is not in a crisis and needs you to start helping them asap, then yes companies usually won’t mind a later start date. That said, asking for a month may be taken as a red flag if you’re staying in consulting.

Yeah I asked for 2 months before my start date because I was on a few projects I wanted to help wrap up before I left

like

yeah, but be prepared to give a reason for it in case they ask. Some firms are OK with pushing for a later date, while others may press on.

Of course. Talk to the new place and find a date that works for both of you

Yes for sure - go for it

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?

Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
