Hmmmm..... ask if you can push by a week or two to buy you some extra time to prep ?

Also you said “travel to USA”, does that mean you don’t live there ?

Is that the E visa mate ? Based on the quick response rate at this hour, am guessing you are based in Asiapac Most likely AUS / Singapore as they have the E visa from what I know

First - thank you so much to this amazing group for all the encouragement and advice! I now potentially have 2 offers (both verbal) at this time. Both amazing companies. I have 2 questions:
1. I have a month's vacation planned for end of this year. I didn't mention it during the interview process (it was not intentional). Should I mention this to the recruiter when they come to me with the initial offer?
2. Some tips for salary negotiations please?

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons?

Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?
