Starting new role with PwC next Monday 11/1, but already received the laptop a couple of days ago. Do you get an official notification before your start date stating the BGC is completed? How many days before start date do you know that? I have not resigned my current position and waiting for BGC to be successfully completed before I hand in my 2-week notice. It will be very tricky. I hand in my notice end of this week and I immediately start a 2-week vacation. Anything wrong with that?

I joined last month and had the same problem. I eventually got a notice but they wait until a week out to verify your current employer.

I had to reach out to my recruiter and basically say I was going to turn down the offer unless I received a notification that the background check was complete.

Reach out to newjoiner.background@us.pwc.com and ask them when they can confirm.

P3 is correct. And as a PwC veteran who’s been handling a lot of our intern and first year onboarding, it’s been a total headache with the reorg. My heart goes out to you if you’re coming in as a new joiner. Most of my group didn’t even know our new joiner start dates due to improper mapping and lack of transparency with remote work.

Following this as I’m in the same boat. Have filled out most of the onboarding request info but BGC is still pending. Start date is tentatively 11/8 but don’t fill completely comfortable resigning before everything is completed

My background check completed about 2 months after I started my job - they didn’t even reach out to my old employer until about 6 weeks in. What are you expecting them to find?

helpful

Thanks M2. Nothing significant as I was cleared by last two employers including Deloitte. However, two items may take longer: first is I was independent contractor for a number of years (C2C). Checking with employer will not work because my corporate entity was contracted through a resourcing company. I submitted all financial records (e.g. 1099-MISC financial statements). Second is an item on criminal background (misdemeanor) that was dropped and being expunged. I also submitted documents to that effect.

You should know if you’ll pass the background check. Either quit tomorrow or give less than 2 weeks notice

How do you give two weeks notice and start a two week evacuation when your start date is in one week?🙄

SA1 - BINGO

Hey all, looking to move to EY as a Senior Consultant in the Finance Transformation practice. Could anyone help me understand what’s the salary range for this role? Or more generally, the ranges for different Senior Consultant roles in the firm? Thanks for your help.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
