Common questions
Why should I send belated new job wishes to a colleague?‹

How can I gracefully apologize for the delay without making it awkward?‹
Be brief and sincere in your apology without over-explaining. A simple "My apologies for the delay, but I just heard the wonderful news!" or "Better late than never, huge congratulations!" works well. Then, immediately pivot to your genuine wishes for their success.
Is it appropriate to send a belated wish if I didn't know them very well?‹
Yes, it's still appropriate and often appreciated. Keep the tone professional but warm. A simple "Congratulations on your new role! Wishing you all the best in your next chapter" is perfectly fine and shows you acknowledge their milestone.
