Yes. Their background check is very extensive.

But can’t they do the verification after I join the firm. Does it have to be done before joining?

No. You are "hiding" something OP.

Yeah who cares

All they’re legally allowed to do is confirm employment. This happens for many reasons. Opening lines of credit, new jobs, references, etc. you’re fine. Unless you work for a place that hires ten people nobody’s going to care. They don’t self identify as D, it’s subbed out to a generic firm that does them

Uh yeah, offers are contingent on a clean BG check

did you inflate your salary?

I get it, I had a similar experience. It’s often not a question of if it’s good but when. I had a start date a way away and was fine with them calling but I wanted to tell my old employer rather than have them call with a background check. I also didn’t want to give 3 months notice and get fired either.

Yes

Isn’t it just a typical background check? (Criminal history, employment check, education, etc.). Do they go much deeper than that?

Super extensive. I went through it again for an internal role transfer, and I was told all current employees will have to go through it again every 5-7 years. They are not messing around

Out of curiosity: what do they check that other companies don’t ?

I am assuming they are not stupid to check with your current employer while I am waiting for the visa transfer. That’s all I care...

Makes sense

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
