Hi! I interned for Deloitte last summer, starting full-time this summer, and currently working a classified government job in-between. Will this be an issue during my second background check? Should I bring up to recruitment that I was contracted by the government in-between, or just leave it be? Thanks!

How would they find out that you’re working there if it’s classified? Also it wouldn’t be an issue I’m guessing

It's classified, but I feel like I'd still need to click the checkbox stating that I've worked for the federal government within the last two years.

Worried this may come up, and perhaps the firm will be happy about it? Like they want me to sit out the half yr before starting FT and not working anywhere else.

Mention it just in case. Better to be safe than sorry

Why not mention it?

I don’t know anything about Deloitte’s hiring practices, but I would not think a company would care that you worked another job between your internship and starting your career with them. What did they think you were doing during that 9 month gap?

I have gone through a couple background checks recently.
In my opinion, these checks are very superficial, they check the validity of your home addresses, see if there are any bankruptcy related liens and any criminal cases.
They don’t go deep at all.
In fact, one of the firm’s background check got completed without me even giving them all the information. They just asked for my Social and current home address.

If you haven’t done anything illegal, you don’t have to worry about anything. Worst case, they will come to you to ask you any details they want.
I wouldn’t worry about it

Also, Deloitte has no business to worry about what you did between internship and starting FT, as long as nothing illegal.

Also, clients hold on to important info and don’t initiate a call cause they’re waiting for me to communicate with them.

What’s the best way to compare lots of data with time stamps? I.e. you’re trying to evaluate the time different steps in a process take for multiple line items (10000 rows)

Current approach I’m doing is to subtract the times (in hh.mm.ss) from each other to get the duration of each step. Not sure if there’s an excel time stamp function that would make this easier. It’s not working well for times that were late PM and bleed into early next day AM.
