Within what timeframe after accepting an offer are you ready to start a new job?

The timing of starting a new job after accepting an offer depends on current commitments and the terms of terminating the previous employment contract. Usually, it is 2 weeks — the standard notice period in most companies. If possible, it is better to agree on a specific date with the new employer, considering the time needed for handover and adaptation. It is important to be honest and not promise the impossible to avoid conflicts and stress.
