I am in the final interview stages for an Associate Data Engineer role at Entain India (Hyderabad). The team is small and growing, and I’ll be working on Snowflake, DBT, and AI-driven data pipelines.
The Dilemma: I initially told HR I could negotiate my 60-day notice period down to 30. However, I’ve realized my current project is too critical, and my manager likely won't approve a buyback.
Question: Should I clarify this 60-day requirement during the third interview, or wait until an official offer is on the table to negotiate the start date? How flexible is Entain typically with notice periods for 'integral' hires in small teams?
TL;DR: I'm in the final stages for an Associate Data Engineer role at Entain India (Hyderabad). I initially told HR I could negotiate my 60-day notice down to 30, but my current project is too critical for an early exit. Since it’s a small, growing team, should I wait for the offer to clarify the 60-day timeline, or bring it up in the final interview?
