Don’t know, but if you do anything, please take time off between jobs and moving. Allow me to repeat, TAKE TIME OFF. I don’t care if your moved in, doing nothing, or not getting paid, there are very few times in life when you are truly off the grid and in between jobs is the perfect time. I don’t mean a couple of days, I mean like a month or six weeks. When I switched jobs, I told my new employer I needed 6 weeks and my old employer I need to start in two days. Then, I chilled. Best. Decision. Ever.
This is the right answer. I too took 6 weeks, which seems to be the sweet spot. Be bored. Who cares. Enjoy it. Relish it. Binge watch game of thrones, play Skyrim or travel—there’s no wrong answer. (Contemplating switching jobs for this perk alone :p.)
Do not cut yourself short. I just did a cross-country move and was eager to start so I gave myself one week off. I started a new leaf with a new firm totally and new City overwhelmed by half-finished move and loose ends. Ended up okay in the end but god do I wish I would have given myself time to breathe and settle in. If they want you, they’ll understand and wait.
Depends on what you told them during your interview. I ended up taking six weeks from the date my offer was 100p final (background check and conflicts confirmed cleared) to my start date, which was around 2 months from the date I signed my offer letter. That was 3 weeks notice and 3 weeks off, and I got pushback and had to justify why I felt I needed to give more than 2 weeks notice. My reason (sincerely) was I felt like I wanted to leave the right way and that that at least symbolically required giving more than the bare minimum notice. My new firm accepted that and it hasn’t been brought up since I started. In fairness I billed 2400 my first year at my new firm so that may have contributed to people’s short memories. Hope that helps!
I think at least one month should be requested. I’m in the same situation also—just cleared conflicts and background today with the new firm and then immediately gave my old firm two weeks’ notice. Now planning a last minute vacation before starting with the new firm!
I agree with P1 - I’m in this situation now and booked a spontaneous trip to Europe on my time off before I start the new job and 10000% glad I did. I’m a junior associate so with the probation period and tip toeing around “taking time off” I’m not sure when I would get the chance in the near future otherwise. Need a mental break.
Following this thread because I’m in the same boat. I’m trying to match up my start date around the time my current lease ends (which is currently six months) and I’m not sure when to start my job search or if it’s normal to tell an employer “I’m looking to start in X month”.
8 months
I took about 2 months. In salary negotiations I told them they could pay me more (signing bonus) and I'd start earlier, but they didn't bite. I don't regret taking the extra time and traveling to see family.
If you're not taking time off, a month between acceptance of offer letter and start date. At least that's what I had when I changed firms/cities.
4-6 weeks is completely acceptable. That is assuming 2 weeks notice, time to get moved and some extra time. As already stated, make sure you calculate in some "me time" whee you are truly not working. Even if it is only a week or two.
