Should I wait until after bg check clears to put in my notice ? I’ve passed multiple background checks before. Company wants me to start in 3.5 weeks and is saying bg check could take up to 2 weeks

The company will always want you to start earlier. Stand your ground and tell them when you are a available - heard of too many people who have clean backgrounds denied roles because of random discrepancies that are errors of how other companies report data (i.e. the exact name of a prior role) that end up making the applicant look like they inflated their title in their application.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

As someone with about 4 years of Data and analytics experience but not a lot of python experience, what sort of exits would you suggest? Trying to work on my resume but cannot think of where I would fit. I am technical but not extremely technical where I can crack FAANG. How do you decide what roles work best for you? We go from a project to project where we like some more than the others, but can’t pin point to what the next job should be. Anyone else in the same boat / can provide any insight?

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!
