Hi all, looking for input from others on current situation as I am too close and getting tunnel vision
Currently working for a company who has made me redundant. They have however as part of the deal asked me to stay until Sept 30. So they keep paying my salary and then Sept 30 will pay me my severance and a bonus.
Quicker than expected I have interviewed for another company and made it to final 3. I am meeting again with potential future boss this Friday for a final interview.
I know they will not wait until October 1 as when I mentioned this in first round of interview they said they would want someone in place sooner. In order to leave my options open I told them I would need to work with my existing employer to see what we could do.
So no doubt question on availability will be raised again this Friday.
I am thinking of the following approach -
1) I tell them that I have a significant $$ incentive to stay until October 1.
2) To secure me as a candidate and lock in firm date I would need a letter of offer with an incentive (ie- sign on bonus).
Just not sure how to communicate the sign on bonus letter without sounding too greedy !
My boss is overseas and other option is to ask my boss to let me go earlier once the work I need to complete is done. This however will not be known until July after project I am working on comes alive. I am however thinking a Sept 1 date should be fine.
Final option is to commit to Sept 1 date with new employer and then take vaction/sick leave during month of Sept.
Appreciate others input here as I get ready for my Friday meeting !!!
