I accepted an offer to join Goldman Sachs, London. They've initiated my background check process last week. How long does Sterling(vendor agency performing the verification) take in the UK to finish the verification process?

It takes a couple of weeks (7-10 days) for US employees on average. Sometimes it’s faster and sometimes it’s slower.

I am not sure if it’s the same timeline for UK tho.

Do you know, if they cross-check the resume? I ask because I decided not to include couple of work-experiences prior to 2016 on my resume(irrelevant to my current industry and job profile).

But, I have submitted those details correctly along with proofs on the Sterling background check forms.

How long did it end up taking?

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
