When you're new at a job and you have an upcoming vacation already booked....

Any advice for what to do when you're starting a new job and have a vacation booked for a few months later? Is that something you should bring up during the interview process, or after you've accepted a job offer? When is the most appropriate time to address it?

Everything needs to be in writing and cleared before accepting an offer. No one likes suprises And as someone who schedules jobs in my company, it makes things a lot easier to be asked rather then informed.

And make sure it's in writing! I've had them specifically agree to my vacation and confirm it would be paid, only to have them forget later. Humans!

Part of the negotiations. Don't bring up anything negative before an offer, but I would disclose it before you accept the offer.

I always bring it up when I receive an offer as part of the terms if I am going to accept the job. I have never had an issue with this in the past.

I've had a similar experience and think its generally best to be honest and up-front about things like this.

Some jobs have a mandatory 90-day probationary period where you can't take vacations (lots of government/city jobs do this) so you might want to bring it up after an offer is extended to you so that you can be sure you can take it. In general, I'd say it's best to bring up when you're in negotiations.

You're invited.
