Yes, depends on hiring manager. If they are urgently looking to fill, then no. If they are willing to wait for you, then yes.

I think it’s a tight job market where the employer has the upper hand. I would still negotiate.

You’re not applying to an MBA ASO or 1st year analyst position that targets college students. Therefore the job is likely an imminent need on the group.

You may be able to defer up to a month depending on the circumstance but anything more than that isn’t likely.

I managed to defer my ASO start date when I lateraled by 2 months but that was because I had a bad concussion and didn’t want to start a new role and then have to take health leave. It was dicey but they agreed.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
