Your personal credit score would/should(?) have nothing to do with your employment unless you were bankrupt

Advisors with poor credit are more of a liability to their firm and get supervised more closely as a result. I’ve never seen it be someone with great credit who exploited their position of trust.

Some smaller companies have run a credit check or asked me to be bonded when I was running an entire branch or the company #2. Both instances for small companies. At larger companies credit checks/bonding hasn’t come up

Some credit unions will deny employment based on credit score for sure.

We get ours pulled every other year. It can affect promotion potential and the advisors with shitty credit are more likely to be on heightened supervision because they’re at higher risk of getting desperate and screwing clients over.

Having major negative items on your credit report (collections/repossessions, bankruptcy, etc) can definitely affect your job prospects.

It happens. In my opinion it's definitely better to have a good credit score when applying for a job in finance. You wouldn't eat food that the chef doesn't;t eat himself would you? That's the same thing with not trusting someone in finance who can't take care of his own finances.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
