I guess it depends on how bad they want you. I’m sure if I proposed that they would move on to the next on the list.

Most likely no harm in asking. Some places ar more understanding and might see you as a passionate, responsible person

If in that 5-7 weeks there’s dramatic overhaul at your new shop, would you still wanna work there? (Not an answer to your question, but curious)

That could happen at any time anyways.

Yes - it’s happened multiple times personally and with others. It depends on how attractive you are as a candidate compared to others.
