I think mine took ~ 2 weeks, but that was a few years ago

It took a couple days. HR finalising things after the fact took a couple weeks

I’m just trying to decide when I should put in my 2 weeks. Right after the background clears?

Starting at PwC soon. Any context regarding what scenarios a start date is pushed back on, and how do you know when it's considered guaranteed? If it's listed in the offer?

OP how long did your background check end up taking? Seems I'll have to submit my two week notice at my current employer before the check concludes..

Completed 1year 8 months AFTER I had already joined. True Story .

Hi all,
I am holding offer from Infosys- 16 LPA, Mindtree- 11LPA, TCS- 9 LPA and VGL- 15 LPA as I will join the company in two weeks. I am not sure, which one I should join and should I ask with other companies for revised offer letter (if yes, please suggest me the process) or I should join Infosys or VGL?

Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated, thanks for your help.

Ladies in their 30s (or anyone) help me out. When on a great first date with a guy in his late 30s, we totally clicked. When he dropped me off, he asked to come inside and I politely said no, since I don't invite anyone inside after the first time we've met date or not. Everything seemed fine but this morning he texts me "I'm sorry it just seems like we aren't looking for the same things." What did I do wrong here? Should I have let him come inside?

Ladies, I need work/fashion tips. I work in center city Philadelphia. Our dress code is “business casual.” I want to implement more outfits with sneakers. I struggle with what hem length and pant style (tapered, flare, etc.) work best.
When I look on Pinterest, most of the results show very casual work outfits w/ sneaks & while I think dark wash jeans, blouse and blazers can look cute/presentable, it’s not appropriate for my office (I’m in healthcare).

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
