How Much Time Does It Take For An Electron To Travel The Length Of The Wire?

I’m a student trying to understand how long it takes for an electron to travel the length of a wire. I understand that electrons travel at the speed of light, but I’m not sure how this applies to a wire. Does the length of the wire affect the speed of the electron? Does the type of wire matter? Does the amount of current running through the wire affect the speed? I would really appreciate it if someone could explain this to me in more detail.
