How long does it usually take for getting through a background check??

People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.
Didn’t get promoted and thinking of leaving Deloitte for the next level at Guidehouse. It’s a title bump so I would get a raise, but I’m trying to weigh the opportunity cost of going to a “lower tier” firm known for more niche services. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you choose? Would this limit my exit opps?
How much better did your WLB get after leaving consulting? I’m moving to an internal strategy role at a client. Financial Services - Banking. In consulting - standard day was closing my laptop between 9pm - 10pm and eating dinner at my desk. I’m expecting industry to be better, but not that much. Maybe closing my laptop between 6pm - 7pm? I haven’t been able to ask anyone in the bank what it’s like, as this is a new team. I’m benchmarking on other client strategy offices.
You probably won’t see movement until after Jan 5th regardless of how long it typically takes
This also depends greatly on what you’re getting checked. Outside of clearance, which is 3-6 months depending on level, it could be a month.
Few days
depends on the amount of stuff they found on you
2 weeks.
Have you lived in China/Russia/Cuba/North Korea?
Just a background check? Few days. If you’re talking about a security clearance depends on agency and level
It really depends on the company and what they’re checking. I’ve seen anywhere from a couple days to a month
