They are probably looking to hire urgently

Yeah they mentioned about it and I said asap since I’m in the market and they said great.

Pretty normal question I’d just give your real answer

In my experience they’re just looking for a normal answer and no weird circumstances.
“I’d have to give notice and I have planned trip, so 3-4 weeks” is my go-to response
