I have a written offer that’s contingent on a background check. I don’t anticipate any hang ups with the check but would like to wait until giving my notice until everything is official. My question is that there’s a set start date on my written offer. Which could leave my current position with under a 2 week notice period. Thoughts on how to cautiously proceed while waiting for background check to complete?

Let your new employer know you need to start a little later, in order to provide a full 2 weeks to your current team (+ a bit of time for you, if needed). You can counter details like that when you get an offer. See if they really want you, or just need a warm body by a certain specific date.

Tell the new company you aren’t comfortable giving notice until the background check clears and they should accommodate!

You are overthinking this.

Chances are you won’t be working there for 2 weeks after you give notice. 95% chance they “won’t need you to come in.”
