How long does it usually take for getting through a background check??
2
I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?
People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.
You probably won’t see movement until after Jan 5th regardless of how long it typically takes
This also depends greatly on what you’re getting checked. Outside of clearance, which is 3-6 months depending on level, it could be a month.
Few days
depends on the amount of stuff they found on you
2 weeks.
Have you lived in China/Russia/Cuba/North Korea?
Just a background check? Few days. If you’re talking about a security clearance depends on agency and level
It really depends on the company and what they’re checking. I’ve seen anywhere from a couple days to a month
