Move timing

Gentlemen, play a guessing game with me.
I've made it to round three for a job in S&T (associate/vp level) in London and I've been told by someone not involved in the interview process that they are down to 3 candidates including me. My advantage is my short notice period vs the two other candidates who need 3-4 month to start.

In what kind of F situation would you need 3-4 months to move?!

  • Bonus restrictions?
  • Relocation restrictions? (keep in mind the firm is not sponsoring for work permits)
  • Non-compete/long notice period? doesnt really make sense...
 

I thought garden leave were basically your notice period. So I guess it is standard to have 3-6 month "non-compete/garden leave" periods? are these months usually paid or unpaid?

 

Quis architecto consequatur reprehenderit enim sit quia ut. Quam porro pariatur eos earum vero. Eum fugiat ipsum et voluptatem laborum molestiae non. Dolorum quo rerum repellendus quaerat id alias. Dolor vero tempore officia et sed labore.
