Does postponing a Google interview look like a red flag?

I got a call from Google a few weeks ago regarding the Applications Engineer role. Yesterday, I received another call from the recruiter saying that my profile had been shortlisted, and they asked for my availability for interviews. They also scheduled a prep call for next week.

I told them I would be comfortable taking the interviews after two weeks so that I could prepare well. However, my cousins are visiting next week, and their plans changed as they will now be staying with us until the end of October. Initially, I said I could take the interviews after October 15, and the recruiter agreed. But now I am wondering if I can postpone further to October 27. Will this have any impact?

Go ahead and postpone the interviews during your prep call. That should be fine

Don't delay further, they might not come back if you do so

Postponing is very common. Usually people take 3-4 weeks time and then you can ask for further extensions. I have done that myself, you got one shot, you better go prepared well
