Trying to Delay Joining without losing Offer Letter - Help!

Hey folks, need some quick advice! Got an offer from a company with a 6th June joining date. But here's the catch — my stocks (20% of my CTC) vest on 18th June. Missing them for just 10 days would really sting. How do I buy time without raising red flags? Should I say:

  1. My current manager needs more transition time?

  2. I have a family emergency? The HR’s already pushing hard for an early resignation and might suspect I’m still negotiating. Can’t mention the stocks (already used that angle for a hike). What’s the best way to handle this so I can delay joining till 20th June without spooking them?

Be honest. Say u have stocks. So either you compensate for this stock by giving that amount as bonus or wait for few days

She is already aware. And I got a 2 lakh value for it. But 2 lakh in hand > Amazon's 5lakh stocks. And I wouldn't have mind losing it. But just losing it for a technicality of 10 days, just doesn't make sense
