I've been working for almost 2 years at this company, and had scheduled my vacation for January 2019.



This week I received a better job offer, paying almost twice as much as I get now, in a larger company. (I was not actively looking for a job, the offer came through LinkedIn).



I'll be interviewed next Monday, and maybe I'll get the job. But what if I get it? I was planning to travel for 3 days, the tickets have already been bought, everything has already been organized.



How do I explain this to my new employer?
Should I comment on this during the interview?

          When they make an offer (negotiating salary), bring this up.



          Usually it's not a problem at all to have a couple commitments with a new hire. The ordinary practice is just to take them as non-paid days.



          If they want you, this is nothing that they will flinch at (3 days). If you had more than a week, it might be something to be concerned about.



          When you're negotiating your salary is when to bring this up.

            Thank you for the advice! I'm a bit nervous about my interview, since it's my first (I got my first job on recommendation) and even more nervous about this detail. But I will follow your advice and comment on the outcome when I am interviewed.
