How long do background checks take?

I had my performance review recently and my manager says I'm doing great, that he will try to get me max. bonus even though budget is tight.... I'm however feeling very deflated and slow in my career. I feel the "comfort" of a big corporation is slowing down my growth and I want more, I want to reach my potential to the max. I see posts of people getting into OpenAi and I feel I lack the variety of experience to even apply to such companies... Should I take a risk and go into the Startup world?
The work culture on my team is pretty bad. There is high burn out, lots of fighting, finger pointing, working 24/7. When I bring this up, the leaders mention that this is just how tech culture is. It is worse at other companies. I havenāt worked at another company so I feel like I canāt counter. What should I say?
Iām a 35-year-old in Seattle, and Iām genuinely terrified that Iām already becoming too old for this industry. I looked around our all-hands meeting yesterday and realized that except for upper management, almost everyone on the engineering team is fresh out of college age. They can pull all-nighters without blinking, while my back hurts if I sit in the wrong chair for two hours. Are we all just silently sliding toward an expiration date once we hit our late 30s? How do you stay relevant?
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.
