Wait until background clears and you have a firm start date before notifying current employer.

I have a firm start date and signed my offer letter

I always think people stress too much about the background check. If you’re confident it’s clean and are ready to leave then leave. I can’t imagine the percentage of people who have an unexpected red flag on their check is that high, although I’m sure it happens occasionally

Absolutely. You NEVER leave ‘til everything has cleared.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

Love to set up a short call if there's a match! ❤️
