When do you officially put in your two weeks? I have a written offer I intend to sign, but should I wait until they clear all the background checks and such (I have no more than a speeding ticket so I’ll pass). This is the first real job I’ve quit

I put mine in once I signed the offer and got a start date.. didn’t wait for the background check

I have been told to wait for the background check. But always wait until you have a signed letter and a start date.

My understanding is that public accounting will roll you off and still pay you the full 2 weeks, so sooner is better

This was not my experience and think this is only if you go to a competitor

I’ve only ever waited to get the official start date. You could wait for the background check to clear if you want, but it sounds like you should be fine.

Don’t they call your current company to confirm employment dates as part of the background check?

Thanks

Started going to therapy early 2020 and had a few sessions where I really felt like I made a breakthrough and left feeling like I was on cloud 9 after every session. I stopped going (it was the through school and I graduated/covid happened) but recently started again with a new therapist. I am not feeling that “breakthrough” feeling after any of our sessions and see it as more of a burden than helpful - is this a sign that maybe this therapist isn’t for me?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job. Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?
