Heard someone who had this happen--the company found an old YouTube video with the kid saying inappropriate stuff, the company revoked the offer.

No but would love to hear of stories of this happening irl. Generally employers are reluctant to mess with their reputations by pulling this (unless there’s a good reason)

Not if the person waited until they got their all clear notification from the buyer.

An offer is still subject to background due diligence, fingerprinting and all that jazz. You don't resign until that is complete.

Agreed with UBS1- don’t resign until everything is complete and they are ‘firm’ on the offer

Wow, what kind of inappropriate stuff @a1 ?

Do you mean background check and salary? @VP1

In NYC nobody can do salary checks anymore. But yes. Background checks.

Bain & Company I received an offer to join Bain & Company for SF office but due to family reasons, I will have to stay in the South Bay. Given Bain’s local staffing model, it will be challenging for me to commute to SF and back.
