Should I put in my 2 weeks now that I signed my offer from D or wait until the background check is done?

Background check. Why risk it?

like

Completely reasonable to wait for background to go through. Once you pass, they can amend your start date. Just remind the recruiter that you want assurance of background and then you will provide two weeks notice. Never know what will delay background. For me, the third party background company took a while to hear back the state for criminal history. This was unexpected and resulted in the whole clearing process taking longer than anticipated.

Wait, then two weeks

Wait until the background check is done. Always. In the interim, use some of your PTO while you still can.

PTO payout is taxed, yes. But it’s money you can use. D gives more PTO

Same boat & waiting

Wait for background

Would there be a reason that the background check wouldn’t clear? If there’s nothing to be worried then I don’t see why not.

I don’t know what it was - someone just never made it to onboarding

Just put it in now 🤣

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
