They'll do a background check on you so they may find out. Personally I wouldn't say anything bc it will have not affect on your work performance and is something you've already moved past.

SC1. I do. A few misdemeanors from 14 years ago when I was in HS. I was 18. One was for under age position of a DL to buy Booz and the other was criminal mischief.

If they care, it's at most 10 years ago. Don't mention. You're fine

I'm in the same situation as you. Mine happened about a year b4 I got hired and they didn't care. Don't ask don't tell.

Received and asked lol..... Should I bring this up before I start??? It didn't come up at PwC at all.

They won't care. If they see that you were 18 and it was something like buying booze it's irrelevant. I know folks who've tested positive for weed and still were hired.

Which firm?

Perform a background check on yourself or give notice only after the background check has cleared. Sure it probably doesn't matter but you never want to be a position where you're fucked.

No. Felonies are only an issue.

@op where you going and what practice

Going into advisory.

Which firm? And yeah you're fine
