After accepting an offer, the new Company will do a background check (3-5 days). I don’t expect any issue.
When should I give notice - before or after background check is completed? I am little nervous giving notice before the background check is done, in case something goes wrong.

Always after

Thanks

Personally, I’d wait until the background check is complete, just to be sure everything clears. It’ll give you peace of mind before you give your notice. That way, you’re not caught in a tricky situation if anything unexpected comes up.

This is my thoughts too. Thanks!

Always always after! I accepted a verbal offer, waiting for the CEO to come back from a vacation to sign an official one. Guess what? They declined the offer for no apparent reason… after 3 successful interviews.

I'd wait until after. All these offers are typically contingent on a background check. You have nothing to worry about if you have nothing that will cause you to not pass a background check
Can be agonizingly slow

Bro unless you’ve done some shady stuff, just put in your notice and enjoy the time off before you start again. You don’t get a career break like this unless you’re a habitual job hopper.

Did u rob a bank recently?

What exactly do you expect on the background check

That’s pretty standard

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
