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
Thank you all for sharing your insights, much appreciated :)
