Anyone at BlackRock could advise me : I recently received an offer from them and background check is 75% done as per the recruiter and I can hand in my notice to the current employer. Do you recommend I should do it now or wait for background check to complete successfully? I have not done this before, so any guidance much appreciated. TIA! BlackRock

Not at BlackRock but unless you have some sort of criminal record you’re safe to hand in notice - your previous employer won’t be giving a personal reference (just this person worked here from X to Y with Z job title).

Same as Blackrock1 - I would recommend having the background check completed firs. is your offer conditional on the background check - if thats the case, you are within your right to not resign till the time you dont get an unconditional offer.

If blackrock asks you for joining date, give them a range, citing subject to completions of background checks


Hope this helps

Always wait ! You never know - they might decide to pull the contract for market reasons for example and find another excuse. It’s a remote possibility but you don’t wait then you have no job. Only go when all is signed.

I’m not sure what specifically remains incomplete at this stage but did they give you a time estimate for when it would be 100% done? I’m prob conservative but would wait until you are fully in the clear. Not an opinion because I work at BlackRock but just how I would do it generally

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!
