Currently interviewing with a vacation planned two months from now. When do I disclose this?

I'm a junior analyst with an interview scheduled for next week. I currently have a 10-day vacation planned in July. At what point in the process do I disclose this? Would I do it towards the end of the interview, or would I wait till after I receive the offer to disclose this? Any experiences with hiring managers declining or reconsidering offers after hearing of a vacation soon after starting? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Don't say anything until after you get the offer. IF you get the offer.

Saying anything about it earlier might make you look presumptuous - hey look at this guy, we haven't even made him an offer yet and he's already asking for vacation!

Offer processes often take longer than you'd think, or pan out differently than you'd expect. This is a case of cross that bridge when you come to it.

If and when they make you an offer and you are ready to discuss start dates with HR or your manager, you can say "I am ready to start on X date." You don't have to mention this is after you come back from your planned vacation. Or, if they really need you to start earlier, you can say, "I am happy to start on the start date you suggest; however, I have a long-planned family vacation from X date to Y date - can this be accommodated?"
