Does company sometimes take longer to send out background check request after you sign the offer letter? For context, I signed the offer letter yesterday afternoon, and I received the verbal offer through the recruiter as soon as the interview ended. The recruiter told me the team was very interested and would like to make me a verbal offer immediately. I accepted the verbal offer and then signed the official one a few hours after. To be continued in comment....

In my experience, they usually send the background check request shortly right after, and this company has been very quick in scheduling interviews, so not heard anything for a day seems strange to me. I maybe just overthink but wonder if there would be a chance they change their mind and rescind the offer?

The background request usually comes from a vendor and could easily take a couple days.

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA.

Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
