Tough situation. Congrats it only took you 2 months - you must be good or lucky or both. :) I'd think 4 weeks is tough. 3 weeks is tough. 2 weeks should be eminently doable (not sure what that means, so think 'doable'). i'd def been in this situation. assming you got burned out - you'll prob be fine a the new gig - assuming you let it sink in that you have to be more balanced in your drive. i'd try to feel it out. assuming verbal comes thru, ask the recruiter/hiring manager: "how soon would you like me to start? i'm anxious to start, but i was also considering visiting my elderly grandparents who helped raise me before i started. i can do it later, after i've started, but if the project doesn't seriously kick off until September, then maybe we'll be in alignment on timeline."
