Make sure to include a home inspection (by a neutral 3rd party) in any home purchase contract for a newly-built home. Just because it’s passed all of the required inspections doesn’t mean the builder didn’t take some shortcuts or did everything exactly right. Get a home warranty that covers all major systems and appliances too. New doesn’t mean perfect.

I recently accepted an offer for a new position at another company. The new role requires a TS/SCI clearance. During the investigation will they contact my current employer?

Should I go ahead and tell my current manager that I’ve accepted another position or just wait it out and deal with it if she’s contacted and brings it up before my I give my notice?
