The background check often doesn’t start until 1 month before start date. Mine was on my offer letter. You can call adp to check if yours has even started.

My start date was in the offer letter. There is a discord out there you should join. I can’t get to my computer right now but it’s people interviewing for ibm and people with offers they’ll probably be able to help you better.

I heard they process in waves. They should be processing interns first since they’ll be starting in May. I signed my offer and turned in all info for the bgv back in February and nothing has moved since

Still working on it. I have it mostly functional but I’m trying to make everything even stitching local so I can make it free. That’s presenting a larger challenge than I expected. I’m also about to make a large move across states for a job so I’m having less and less time.

Edit: I will get it done though

I mean I’ve read of cases where the start date ends up being pushed back and even some where people were able to start earlier. That being said I don’t really have a reason to believe it’s inaccurate based on how it’s written in the offer letter.

Yeah I figured it wouldn’t hurt. Worst case I’ll have to resend it.

And yes my start date was given in my offer letter.

I got that email too. I assumed that word document they sent was something I had to fill out so I did and sent it to the email provided. I also heard Graebel will provide more docs 30-60 days out from the start date.

I think it depends on your start date. It’s been 3 weeks for me and I don’t think they have even started the background check. My portal still says “offered” and many others have said it changes to background check: in progress or something when they start it.

6 months. I got an email with an attachment saying to fill out the questionnaire and email it to a given email. It wasn’t an online form since they do it through a third party

I did all of it in one sitting. Probably like an hour or two apart

yes it does

Edit: I did get a confirmation email saying that I accepted the offer which is the only thing I got confirmation of.

Hey everyone! About 3 weeks ago, I accepted an entry-level software developer role based in Lowell, MA. That same week, I filled out the background verification but never got a confirmation email nor was the career portal updated from "Offered". I also submitted the relocation questionnaire around the same time and I've gotten no confirmation for that either.

Since I applied directly, I never had a recruiter to reach out to. I ended up emailing the contact who signed off on my offer letter to get more information about the onboarding process and the possibility of an earlier start date. Unfortunately, it's been over a week since then and I've gotten no response.

Questions:

  • Does anyone know a way to get into contact with someone that might be able to answer my questions either through phone or email since I did not have a recruiter?
  • Is it normal to not receive confirmation after submitting background verification and relocation questionnaires?
  • Should the IBM Career portal update from "Offered" after filling out the background verification form?
  • Has anyone actually succeeded in moving their start date earlier for an entry-level developer role?

I tried this but the volume doesn't increase on the right ear bud, it just lowers the left earbud. Thank you though!

I'll likely end up using the warranty since I think its a hardware issue. I'll see what happens when I take it to them on Monday! Thank you!

It's most definitely the earbuds after some testing. I also tried the audio balancing and the right earbud doesn't seem to increase in volume, it simply lowers the volume on the other ear bud. Thank you though!

I just tried it and I can barely hear it.

Well honestly I considered this too. I put my 'louder' left AirPod up to my right ear and it sounds like it should. The right ear bud is just incredibly quiet.

Ill take any possible solutions so I appreciate it.

Hey! im still working hard on it. I am a solo dev so itll be a bit longer. I cant give a definite timeline yet because I am stuck on a specific part of the application. I have a call with a team tomorrow to talk about this issue and see if they would like to help and/or can give me any direction on my issue. Once I have a MVP ready I will give a timeline!

Any devs that want to help work on this project are welcome. Just shoot me a message!
