How long do background checks take?
1
Does anyone else find it difficult to get another job while you are currently employed? Most people say that it's easier to get a job while you have a job, but that has never been the case for me. What normally happens is I go to an interview with the knowledge that I can mess up the interview and perform poorly. Sometimes I ask questions that I know are going to make the interviewer uncomfortable. This is probably both good and bad. Most jobs I have landed happened when I was unemployed.
My company strongly encourages us to use copilot for coding. I have two āvibe codersā in my team. Sometimes they do funny things (like writing a separate java class with getters for two constants, complete with a test class - all AI generated and absolute BS), but most days, itās taking a toll on the rest of us. The most annoying part is that the management praises the ācreative duoā while we struggle, trying to put out their fires and keep the code quality decent.
How do you deal with the feeling that your entire professional output is meaningless? Iām watching my company ignore every single one of my user-centric findings. They pay me to conduct deep-dive interviews and usability tests, but at the end of the day, the CEO just goes with whatever gut feeling he had. Itās soul-crushing.
The limiting factors are how quickly you submit info and how long counties you've lived in drag their feet on criminal checks. YMMV, I've had one particular county's bureaucracy take several weeks even though I have no record š¤·āāļø
Depends on how deep of a background check and how much info can they find. Court, credit etc like 1 day. Deeper ones that needs live scan might take 3-5 days depending how busy are the agencies.
