Do I need to wait for my background check to clear before putting in my resignation? I’m not worried about anything but I’d prefer giving my two weeks as soon as I get the offer

I would wait

You give your 2 weeks when the new company says you're clear to do it.

Yes, wait for it to clear

I’d definitely wait for the formal offer. But not sure if I need to wait until the bcg clears. That would delay my start date significantly and the new manager wants me to start soon

depends. when’s the start date?

i don’t know if mine has cleared yet. but i’ve already started working for the new company loll

If you got nothing to hide, then why not?

Handed in my notice after signing the offer (before background cleared).

If you’re comfortable nothing would come up and are desperate to leave, you do you.

I have been offered a job at KPMG within cyber security in the uk. Originally it was a 25% hike offer. Now I have received a 8% hike at Deloitte as part of the current performance cycle along with a 5k bonus (great incentives every year) The only thing is KPMG is offering this in a @kpmg regional location where I’m based plus the disadvantage is I need to pay 2500£ for my dependent visa costs which I can save if I continued with Deloitte. Seen Lot of negative comments about KPMG. Any thoughts ?
