I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.
Should I take this delay as rejection?

I don't blame you for being alarmed by that. I've never known anyone to start a job with the background check still pending. It doesn't even seem like something an employer should do, I mean, they'd be letting an unvetted person into the organization, if even for a few weeks. That seems really odd. I'd be very worried about uprooting myself and moving across the country, knowing that they could find some excuse to let you go right after you arrive. I think it would be a lot more wise to make sure everything is settled before moving.
Well they said they need me to start now and there’s no way they can wait for their background check that takes 8 weeks. If I can’t start they will have to rescind their offer and go with someone else. But still if they see anything they don’t like they will let me go. It doesn’t seem fair. If I commit then they should commit and if they can’t then they should wait. Am I right for feeling like this?
I have until after Christmas to give them an official start date and to be there and they are thinking the first Tues of January and again not much flexibility with not much promise either.
