PwC has provisionally cleared me to join the firm first week of Jan. What does this mean? Can I start working with them even if the background check is still running in parallel? Can I quit my current job and expect everything to be cool? They said it's taking them longer to verify education and previous employment. Both of which are international.

I think you're fine. You should give a two week's notice so you have at least a week to get a break

"Cleared" but do you have an offer in hand?

Got it. I wouldn't quit until everything clears, because they could plausibly rescind.

I definitely wouldn't quit until I had an official offer in hand.

With stuff like this, I always think it's important to clarify with hiring managers and teams, and bring up notice periods etc to get a better idea. I personally wouldn't put my notice in until I had some kind of explicit confirmation
