Maybe 3 weeks sounds more appropriate if your current company won't agree to 1 week. If your vacation time is already accrued then they owe you that anyways so 3 weeks gives them the standard time plus your week off. As a manager it might be perfect to have you work 1 week, feel what its like to have you not there for a week, then a week to cleanup anything leftover. Just curious - what is the desire to start the new job fast?
