I have a offer from Gartner as well as from RBC. I’m interested in RBC but it would takes weeks before I would get my background check completed and my joining date for Gartner is next week. What should I do?

Have you joined RBC??? Need to ask some questions

Not yet

A few things: a) are you concerned about passing the background check? If not, then the wait is less of a risk. Though, I have had friends who should 100% pass background checks get checks pushed back and pushed back until they just picked a new offer. b) Do you have the flexibility to go a few weeks (or even a couple of months) without income? If not, then Gartner is probably the better bet.

That’s my exact concern, Gartner took several weeks. I worried if RBC does the same then there is no point in joining RBC since I’ll be losing a around month’s salary.

Have you made a research and comparison of both companies? If background check is done with RBC, are you confident that you will pass? If you're really into RBC and you are sure that you will pass the background check then ask yourself if you are willing to take the risk.

Yes, I should pass the background check as Gartner did the background check too. I just don’t want to be unemployed given my financial constraints .

Do you know, how much time bgv takes? I have a RBC offer and its been 8 days that bgv is inprogress....Only 4 days are left for my RBC joining... what to do???

I can promise you that whatever Gartner is offering you is extremely low

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
