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

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.
My patience for this job is waning… I’m 35, single, no debt - Made some decent investments last year in some AI chip stocks and now they’re coming to roost.. my brokerage account is now more than my 401k. I feel like my life is 90% work and 10% everything else. I wonder if I should take some extended time off (6mo-1yr) as I would love to actually have space for things during the week again and explore / grow in other areas of my life. Is it time?
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
