I accepted an offer today, and the background check is the next step. Should I give the recruiter a heads-up about my 2015 DUI or just list it on the background check form? It never came up during interviews and wasn't on the application. The job isn't driving-heavy but may involve occasional travel. What would you do?

A non felony DUI? From TEN years ago? And it’s NOT a DOT job? WHY? How is it even RELEVANT? I’d be totally surprised if that even came up.

I’d be upfront — better to control the narrative than have it pop up like a plot twist in your background check. Honesty beats awkward surprises every time.

Ehh. If you plan on continuing to work with this recruiter if you don't get the job, I'd probably give them a heads up. If it was me, I'd much rather hear it from you than from the company.

Exactly 💯!

It is likely to show up, but there is no 100% guarantee it will. If there will be occasional driving, I’d lean towards it coming up. Get ahead of it by being factual. You had that happen, took full responsibility, and have maintained a clean record since then.

Start looking into pardons Canada , I believe it takes a while but will be worth it .It will not help for this job but in the future. Should you tell the recruiter , probably not it will come out in the background check anyways.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
