Accepted an offer for industry but waiting for the background check to clear. Haven’t had any issues with previous background checks, should I wait for this to clear before sharing with management?

I had a company lose my figure prints once, background took an extra 3 weeks. Always wait.

I had to wait until I was cleared. If I had told my company before the back ground finished I would have had 3 weeks without a pay check

Thanks for the feedback, I guess I will have to wait it out.

How long does a background check take (assuming no issues)?

Going to depend on to many things to count but 2 weeks is probably a good average

In the end it took 2 weeks and it got all cleared out 💪🏼

Did you get an email saying you cleared background?

Hi everyone,

I have accepted an offer of 130k + 20% bonus and RSUs worth 150k.
Today, I got another offer from a startup of 160k base pay and stock options worth 440 k.

Has anyone negotiated an offer after accepting? I am supposed to join them next week.

Vesting period is 4 years with one year cliff and each quarter after a year.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
