So I have a felony. I interviewed with a recruiter today who was super cheerful and nice. Once I disclosed my felony, which she already knew about since a friend referred me to her, she immediately stopped the interview and said she couldn’t in good faith move forward on my application given the nature of my offense. I explained that I had done my time, paid my fines and restitution and had the experience to become a great asset to the organization. -she suggested I look into bartending.

How far in the past is it? A background check usually cannot go past 7 years. If not, is there any way to get it expunged?

Also, a lot of states have “ban the box” laws where they cannot ask about criminal history prior to extending an offer. If it comes up on a background check after the offer stage there is generally the opportunity to discuss the situation with the employer to provide context, I have seen scenarios where the offer was not rescinded due to the amount of time passed and the item on the background check not being related to the role the individual was offered.

Given the nature of the offense? And how recent are we talking? Are you trying to explain the charge away or are you talking about how you learned from the experience and have developed from it?

What was the offense?

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
