Yeah, i found that big tech companies have absolutely zero issues with letting you postpone the interview by however many weeks or months you want.
The only downside is that if you were planning to interview for a specific team, they might have no more spots by that time. But every time it came up, the recruiters assured me it wont be an issue and that there will be a team for me, even if it wasn’t that specific one. And for those where you just apply for a general position and get team-matched later (like in most cases with google or fb), this wont even come up at any point.
In fact, the recruiters themselves mentioned to me many times (when i entered those interview processes) to take my time with preparing and schedule for whenever i feel comfortable, explicitly stating not to rush, because they want to see you perform at your best, not to see how quickly you can cram the material. And they didnt bluff or just tried to be nice. Same with rescheduling, unless you do it like the night before (which would still be fine, but imo it is inconsiderate to the recruiter, barring some emergency or unexpected situations).
