Pushing start date after getting an offer?

Just got a job offer from a large non-FANG company. They asked if I can start in October, but I want to start in December. Can that be possible or even asking that would be insulting? TC: 375

Isn’t Amazon culture to be vulture?

Is it for stock purposes? If you have a large sum coming in, just tell them why and see if they can buy you out.

Yes, have vesting in November. Also want to use my time off (have ~30 days accumulated by now).

Honor your agreement bc they’ve been planning around your start date. If they offer unlimited PTO you’ll be alright

Tell them you put in notice with current employer and they politely requested your stay until December. Ask them if that is agreeable. If not, start on your planned start date.

Which large non-FANG company?

Something like Door Dash, Instacart, or AirBnB.
