How long is company willing to wait after you accept offer

Currently have an offer from another company. However I have to push my start date to 4 months to 6 months later due to some VISA issues. Blinders, do you have experience pushing the start date that further?

Accenture gave me 1 day to accept my offer. Then I had to argue with the recruiter before he finally gave me a week to decide. The position was to be a Technology Analyst in San Francisco, which paid 60k.

Typical Accenture.

Usually depends whether the company is big or startup and whether you were hired for a specific position in a slow hiring environment or not. Basically if they don't need you for a specific position right now, they will most likely wait. Hiring is hard and Lyft will probably still be growing and hiring in 6 months, so they might as well let you start in 6 months
