Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?

Yes. I always wanted to be a therapist when I was younger. Let my dad push me into finance and worked there for a while but decided to get a masters and live out my therapist dream. I lasted 12 weeks as a therapist before I went running back to finance. Much more stable and low-stress.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. At least you know for certain you didn’t like it!
I hate to say dream job, but it was a position I really wanted. It was the company that dragged everything down. I hated the workplace, not necessarily the work. I stuck it out long enough to find something else.
My dream job is no job
My "dream job" was a job that I thought was going to most impress other people. I completely burnt out and ended up quitting and taking six months off of work. It turns out that living to impress other people is not a very good philosophy in life. Who knew?

It’s a good lesson to learn!
