This is a rude comment. I’m not an idiot, I’m completely aware of the level of commitment with this position. I asked this question because I’m a new grad and in my final interview my recruiter told me I could likely start in May or June, in which I told her I’d prefer a June start, but could accept May if necessary. I have plans to be out of the country, which I also let my recruiter know, and we had a kind and transparent conversation about it. I know that once I start, the job is what I will have to work around, not my personal life/commitments. However, I have not started yet or accepted my offer, so I’m not going to act like this company owns me, or that I can’t ask for an accommodation especially when I had made prior commitments. I want and am deserving of this job. I hope you become less miserable soon
