In 2021 I put notice in before First Advantage finished my background check (I have a TS clearance, figured everything was fine).
They delayed my start date by seven weeks due to First Advantage moving so slow; I ended up going without a paycheck for over a month because of it. And had I not raised hell with Talent at Deloitte, it likely would have taken longer.
Fun twist of fate: during that time, I started interviewing for other roles (just in case it fell through). One of those companies contacted me out of the blue a few weeks back; I'll be joining them soon for a $80k TC increase.
Wouldn't have met that firm if First Advantage hadn't taken so long 🤷♂️

Yes technically, but I tend not to give two weeks notice until everything is done. Leaves for smaller gap between end and start of job but better save than sorry - especially in this economic climate.
It’s binary…. You’re in or you’re not. If there still are components unfinished, then you aren’t hired yet. I would suggest to get with the hiring manager to get verbal ok, and talk to the recruiting team to get a clear confirmation (in writing) whether all the pieces have unfolded so you can give notice. I often wait (and ask to be cc/ed on) the managers introduction of new team member (I have a low risk tolerance).
And don’t change your LinkedIn until a few weeks after hire.
Best!
