My notice period is longer than the firm's preferred start date. Can that cost me the offer?

Offers

My current job requires a three-month notice period, but the recruiter mentioned they want someone to start sooner. I don't want to resign before I have a signed offer. How should I handle this?

Can I ask whether an offer deadline is flexible before I have another offer?

I have one consulting offer with a fairly short deadline, but my other processes are still early. I do not have another offer to use as leverage. Is it okay to ask for more time anyway, or should I wait until I have something concrete?

Can I negotiate my consulting start date before accepting the offer?

Offers

I have an offer but the proposed start date conflicts with a personal commitment. I haven't accepted yet. Is the start date something you can ask to change during the offer discussion, or should I accept first and deal with it afterward?

My offer is tied to a practice area I did not request. Can I ask to switch before joining?

Offers

I received a consulting offer, but the letter places me in a practice area I didn't apply for and don't know much about. I like the firm, but the placement changes how I feel about the role. Is it reasonable to ask whether I can switch before accepting?
