I think background checks are racist in 2021...

like

No, firms have guidelines for responding to background checks. Usually can only confirm title and time of employment from HR

I don’t think they are allowed to talk about an employee other than to confirm employment and dates, etc.

This is not allowed by KPMG’s policy.

This wasn’t allowed when I was at PwC, but I didn’t mind answering questions. Only happened a few times and that was because someone listed me as a reference. I wouldn’t have agreed to be a reference or answered any questions if I had something bad to say.

I have no idea what you are talking about but whatever

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
