How long do background checks typically take to clear? Not sure how to answer the “when can you start” question. Basically would like to clear background checks + 2 weeks notice + 1 week break

I would answer it by saying what you just wrote above.

And check the timing to enroll in health insurance. Some firms have different timelines. You want that to be active right away.

Former employer’s coverage should cover you through the end of the month of your last day.

COBRA or going to the market for a short-term plan are both options to bridge any potential gap between that date and your new start.

You only have to give 2 weeks notice 👀 must be nice

Anywhere from one day to two weeks depending on what they verify. Education and employment extend the timeline but not every company verifies them.

Also, if you recently worked/lived internationally the background can take 4-8+ weeks to clear in some cases.

Tell them a few weeks after the background check clears, not a specific calendar date. This puts the onus on them or their vendor to move quickly while giving you time to give 2 weeks notice and relax for a week too.
