<prompt> Human: At my current job, were about to get a huge bonus check 5 which for me is just north of 3k after taxes. I verbally accepted an offer for a new job and started some security paperwork but asked if I could start at the beginning of November, because I thought my bonus would be coming at the end of this month. They said yes.Turns out my bonus isnt coming at the end of this month, its coming mid-November. Would it be unreasonable to again ask my future employer if I could start Nov 15? I dont want to piss them off, shy them away, etc.  <response>: I say you go for it and try to delay your start date. I did something similar when I started a new job a few years ago - was due for a bonus of 5k and ended up making my last day of work like a week before the payout. I felt pressured to start my new position so I just accepted it and missed out. After starting, I realized there was no reason to feel pressured and I could have easily delayed a week. I mean, feel out your new employer a bit, but I think its worth making the effort at least.
