Could you clarify? I'm confused by what difference does it make what they say.

"Of course" - no red flags.

"WHAT?! We expected you to start tomorrow! Can't you just quit? Don't you want to work here?!" - Aaaaand, we're done here.

I have interviewed a lot, and I have literally never experienced anything other than some variation of "of course".

The ones that aren't supportive usually aren't supportive of you quitting without 2 weeks either.

On the flip side, when I am interviewing a candidate I always ask when they would be able to start if we were to make them an offer. A currently employed candidate who says "tomorrow" raises huge red flags.

Tell them 3 weeks. Get escorted politely off former employer when I give notice (its just policy, good luck). Vacation!
