I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

Don’t let them pressure you. Every company wants you to start faster. I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting in notice without clearing a background check just because anything can happen.

Tell them you'll resign early if they skip the background check.
Turnabout is fair play! The consequences of them finding something you either didn't know about or forgot about are too great to lose both jobs over.
Listen to your gut
Shouldn't take too long for it to clear anyways, I'd let them know your notice period can wait until it clears. You have the leverage right now since you haven't even put in your notice yet, and how much difference is a few days going to make for them?
