I have. The background check company initiated my background check between Christmas and New Years but my College was closed and could not confirm I graduated until they came back from winter break. I showed up every day but could not be issued a computer or badge. I pretty much just read SEC filings that they printed out for me and took long lunches for about a week.

Some companies won’t issue the formal offer letter until it’s done though.

@D1, not really nervous over past employment, academics or anything, just nervous since I had some recent Identify Theft issues that I am dealing and have just been recently resolved. Otherwise Idk just a nervous feeling

I’m currently in PA working in tax compliance (PE/Hedge) and considering my options. When I spoke with a recruiter seems like there is not a lot of “interesting” tax opportunities in industry that really stuck out to me. They mentioned potential opportunities for a PE controller role. Has anyone ever tried this? It would be a smaller shop so imagine I’d be doing everything if I was considered. Would I be setting myself up for failure?

How do you guys handle someone else taking credit for your work?

A colleague keeps running point on my projects and regular work. I do 80% of the work (strategy + execution). Her involvement is much smaller yet she’s established herself as the main person for this area of marketing.

I have little visibility for my hard work and it’s frustrating nobody sees my contributions as “mine”. They ask her questions she then ask me. Bc we’re remote nobody sees what’s happening and I’m demotivated.

WTF is wrong with me!?
