I felt this too. One general rule of thumb for next time though, don’t put in notice until the background check clears. Congratulations!!
Agreed. Sometimes they won’t tell you if it does, so ask how long it’ll take. If you don’t hear bad news by that time, you should be in the clear.

No I was ecstatic to be out of hell -cough- I mean consulting
I want to feel that way too! And don’t get me wrong, I am so happy to be out, but my happiness is overshadowed by this ever-present feeling of job insecurity
Coach
I dont know what happiness is anymore
In that situation now, the only way to lower your anxiety is to keep interviewing at a couple of other places to cover yourself in case anything goes wrong. I already feel better and am able to relax.
