“Thanks for accepting our offer. When would you like to start?” “Well my notice expires at my current job in two weeks but I’d like to take a short break in between to decompress / spend time with my family.” “Obviously we’d like to have you as soon as possible but we don’t want to keep you from your family. How about six weeks from now?” “Works for me.” Obviously different companies/roles will be differently flexible and bigger companies will be more tolerant of delaying start by longer. And you can only do that if you get a job offer somewhere. But the parent comment wasn’t even suggesting taking holiday to interview for a week straight right?
