Just got a job offer from Accenture and have my H1-B visa transfer approved. I spoke with my current employer manager and client yesterday and they are requesting me to serve a 3 week notice instead of 2 owing to an important release. I also want to separate from my current employer on good terms, but how would I communicate this to my new employer? Do they usually defer joining date by a week or 2?Accenture

Yeah I’m bouncing @ 2 weeks. Do not mess around with H1-B anything.

1 week won’t matter but Accenture has set onboarding days that don’t happen every week. If you miss the current one you may not be able to join for a couple of weeks. Talk to your onboarding coordinator. You don’t want to be stuck without a job in either companies.

Get onboarded at Accenture asap. You risk the offer being rescinded. Think about your H1B first.

Your visa is more important than their release, unless you're client is ICE.
2 weeks is ample notice in the US.

Don't do it

Work out with Accenture HR for a week if the current release is critical ( if you value your management/client ).
Don't burn your bridges especially at the time of looming layoffs .

You don’t owe them ANYTHING. 2 or 3 weeks is just an obligation. Do it next week. Go now. Do not risk it - we are headed into mass layoffs across sectors.

a curtesy* I would say, not an obligation
