How long does it usually take for getting through a background check??
2
I was just terminated from the deals group. I’ve let myself go in terms of my health and weight. I figured I’d use a good chunk of the severance time to get in shape over the summer and focus on my health but my friends and family are pushing me to find a way to juggle both and call me crazy for taking my time. My plan is to build a morning routine of fitness and work that into my new schedule when I’m rehired. Any thoughts ?
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
