I have my first interview with the hiring manager today. After that, I am going on PTO for a week (because I’m covering the holiday week). What if they ask me to come in for a full interview while I’m away because they need to hire urgently? I’m going to be visiting family out of town… maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Are hiring managers understanding of pre-planned time off?

As long as you give them a heads up, you should be fine. Also, this is the holiday season for hiring managers as well. They probably won't be scheduling many interviews until January. You should be fine.

It’s something you should share with them. Inquire about next steps and within that conversation, mention you will be going on PTO. They should be understanding and work around it.

If you let them know, you should be OK. They will be understanding, especially if you are the candidate they want.

As others have said you should be fine. Just be honest when asked about scheduling a 2nd interview. It its going to be a problem for the hiring manager then maybe you want to reconsider your interest in them

Be up front, overthinking isn’t a bad thing, just a matter of addressing it politely. Honestly, I can’t see somebody being mad about being out of town and visiting during the holiday season.
