Varies. But if they really want you, it won't be an issue. But then again, if they don't really want you, it gives them an easy excuse to not hire you.

It will be an issue, to the extent that, you will be questioned about it. Have a good answer ready, that shows you are not an irresponsible person.

Our HR people tell me that New York State it is now illegal to obtain a credit report for hiring decisions. Possibly the same for California.

You need written authorization in CA. We process civil, criminal and credit on a local, state and federal scale. It is basically step 2 (IARD is 1). No authorization, we stop right there.

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
