Once you have an offer, are you expected to start right away? What is the norm re negotiating the start date?

You can always try to negotiate but companies generally extend offers, expecting offerees to start relatively soon. Given the timing in the year, if you're wondering if you can delay start until you get the biglaw bonus, you can always be transparent about your leaving$ on the table by leaving before year end and see if they're amenable to you starting later or giving you a signing bonus to start sooner

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC.

I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department.

If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?
