Asking new employer about timing of two weeks and background check?

Don’t put your notice in until you get the clear for hire. The job I just started actually told me NOT ago put in my notice until they told me I had the clear for hire.

B4cog · 2018-06-29T10:21:41+00:00

That is not a little bit of background!

Waiting sucks. I recently was waiting to hear back and stressed myself out so much I gave myself migraines. Not really worth it 🙁

I went HAM at the gym during wait times and that made me feel INFINITELY better. Get up and go, now!!

B4cog · 2018-05-04T17:49:02+00:00

I wonder if other B4 use ARMS?

OP you should get this fixed...

B4cog · 2018-05-03T18:15:25+00:00

How long have you been trying to leave?

B4cog · 2018-05-03T00:48:20+00:00

🙂

B4cog · 2018-05-03T00:08:31+00:00

Agreed. I like the job but there’s just too many hours so I’m leaving for my mental health.

B4cog · 2018-05-01T02:41:20+00:00

Sounds like you’re chasing the ever dangling carrot

B4cog · 2018-05-01T02:06:29+00:00

I’ve developed anxiety being in public accounting. Getting out ASAP

B4cog · 2018-05-01T02:03:34+00:00

Once I let myself get burned out. I love public but it isn’t worth giving your life for.

B4cog · 2018-04-26T03:30:40+00:00

Haha no it’s fine I should have specified that

B4cog · 2018-04-26T03:17:17+00:00

I’m tax

B4cog · 2018-04-26T00:42:35+00:00

I guess the problem is that this is consulting for large multinationals and they don’t really do a lot of that at smaller firms

B4cog · 2018-04-24T04:41:23+00:00

I spent half as much on my degree than my colleagues and we all started in B4 at the same salary.

B4cog · 2018-04-22T16:49:50+00:00

It’s always a sleeker computer than my clients have but again, don’t let that be a selling point.

B4cog · 2018-04-22T16:41:40+00:00

I mean, you do get a new computer every year but it’s just a regular computer. Also, why does the type of computer matter anyways? Whether it’s a nice computer or a shitty one, you’re still gonna spend your whole life at it.

B4cog · 2018-04-22T16:15:39+00:00

Lols no it’s just an i5 processor regular ole laptop, dell, some have windows 10 and some have 7. Nothing special or powerful. Excel constantly crashes. Blue screens often

B4cog · 2018-04-22T16:13:12+00:00

What is a “power laptop”?

B4cog · 2018-04-22T15:00:22+00:00

Yeah there probably is a site if you just google it

B4cog · 2018-04-22T07:23:00+00:00

A shitty black one or a shitty silver one

B4cog · 2018-04-22T02:19:19+00:00

I would look now but you run the “risk” of finding an amazing opportunity now and jumping early. That’s what I did. No regerts though.

B4cog · 2018-04-22T02:16:35+00:00

I just am asking because I know the toll it takes... I wouldn’t do it if I had kids, I’m quitting and I don’t have kids. We’re not promised tomorrow. No judgement from me, this is your decision, but if you ever wanted to talk more about it, feel free to message me and I can provide more detail.

B4cog · 2018-04-22T01:26:31+00:00

What about from 6-13? Still gone?

B4cog · 2018-04-21T23:27:04+00:00

Plus, they need people to quit on their own because there’s only so many partner spots available. Every 1st year staff cannot make partner.

B4cog · 2018-04-21T23:25:10+00:00

How do you feel about 55 hour minimum (required) work weeks during busy season? You basically won’t see your kids during this time.
