Hey all! I might go thru the background check process at a big 4 in the next few weeks. Is credit score a factor? My score has come down to around 640 over the last 2 years due to high CC balances/utilization (serious health issues, not covered by insurance). No defaults. Should I be worried?

No chance you get dinged for a 640, take my comment as the confirmation you need to have a good night’s sleep!

Their main emphasis is on education, employment history and criminal background check

Thanks! I'm good on these fronts I think. Just worried about credit score

You’ll be fine, I knew a few folks with ch.7 Bk on their CR and they were hired at PwC

Thank you! This helps

Some people find this funny? 🥺
