Should be sure to look into individual policies before signing on the dotted line. I know many companies won’t let you take paid leave with less than 1 year of service.

Exactly, most of my concern is around this point. Would you bring this up during interviews? Reach out to target company HR before applying?

Yes you should be fine. Might need to be flexible with timing depending on when you start your leave.
