This is literally the only part about the interviewing process that doesn't cause me any stress lol. I've got a clean record and know nothing is going to come up that would put the offer in jeopardy. Interviews? Stressful. Waiting to hear if I'm going to move to the next round? Also stressful. Background check? 0 stress.
Oh there is nothing wrong with fully committing to the crazy. The waiting period is such a stressful time. Fill up your days as much as possible with exercise, friends, eating, learning how to paint figurines, whatever it takes haha.
Unless you have reason to worry about what the result should be, you might as well just stay calm and enjoy the delay as best you can. These things are always a cause for anxiety, but that's mainly because they can seem to take forever. I remember waiting for one once and feeling anxious and then of course it amounted to nothing and I was wondering what I was so worried about.

One of my government jobs took 8 weeks to do the back-grounding. Actually, the first one was only about 3 weeks, they said I was an easy case: no debts, car loans, house paid for. I got lucky on that one, but the other took 2 mos. Just sit back and relax a bit and don't stress about it. If there were any red flags, you probably would have heard about it by now. Good luck to you.
I was worried for nothing. It’s all clear and I start next week!!
