How far away is that start date supposed to be? If it’s next week yes. If it’s still a few weeks away no harm in asking.
Haven’t signed the offer? Means you’re still in negotiation mode! Ask to move the date out a week.
Depends on when you agreed to the start date. Probably never a great look overall, but the closer it is to the start date you agreed on, the more likely you are to get off on the wrong foot. If you agreed and signed an offer letter already, know that they’re likely making plans for your onboarding and planing to introduce you to projects, so I’d suggest approaching it politely and kindly. If your start date is like, this coming Monday, you’re playing with fire and I’d suggest just...not. If you’re still in discussions and haven’t formally agreed or signed an offer, then still totally up for grabs.
Either way you could move the date, but how close to the start and if you’ve already technically committed may impact how likely they are to agree with a positive tone.
