If they extend an offer, be transparent with your hiring manager and recruiter about your situation and they’ll probably work with you.

6 weeks . I told them I needed to take off to attend my brother's wedding. They said just start the Monday after.

Four months.

6 months. Talk to your hiring manager about your situation.

One month. I usually say I need to do my two weeks followed by wanting a transition period aka I want time off to decompress. They usually understand and never had a problem. Also say that you want to start one month AFTER everything clears (background check, papers signed and processed etc)
