What is your notice period, are you open to relocating, and how many days a week can you be in the office?
Answer notice period, relocation and remote-work questions early with real dates and hard constraints. These are recruiter screening criteria, so state what is fixed, what is negotiable and what must appear in the written offer. Use this logistics and policy answer to show the decision, trade-off, and evidence rather than a memorised definition.
Answer
Short answer
For notice period, relocation and remote-work expectations, give the real constraint early. State your contractual notice, realistic start date, location limits and office attendance flexibility. Treat these as screening facts, not late negotiation surprises, and make sure any agreed remote, hybrid, relocation or start-date terms are reflected in writing before you accept.
In a strong logistics and policy answer, the when to raise notice period relocation detail should connect the decision to a visible consequence.
