Deloitte is actually calling my references for a background check. Never had that happen before lol, is that normal for them or a sign that they might’ve found something they want to investigate further?

It’s normal - they did for mine also

Most professional jobs will call references

like

What do they usually ask from reference?

I agree. It’s normal. They will call. You shouldn’t be worked about anything.

What role did you get an offer for?

Can’t they just verify employment through tax or anything?

I’m sure they can. I doubt they Willa frugally call references. Reason being is they might be a long tedious task.

Totally normal. It’s called due diligence.

Did they ask for references? I haven't given references nor been asked for them in my last few jobs. They usually do a background check though.

Same here. I don’t think my Deloitte background check thing asked for reference contacts

Yeah their background check is pretty thorough.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
