Background check differences btween London and NYC

hi everyone, i guess its that time of the year when people are getting SA offers from banks. Anybody have any idea how does the background check process differ amongst the BBs - excluding GS- in London and NYC? What information do they require in London, and what in NYC? From what I have heard, it is more rigid in NY than London, but still no clue on info is actually neeeded. Can any of the monkeys please share their insight in this? :)

Thank you all.

 

not sure what you want to know. it's pretty straight-forward. You give them the addresses where you've lived over the past 5 years, what degree(s) you got and where, what firms you worked for when and where. Then you just sign several waivers validating that you have no criminal convictions etc. and that you give them permission to ask past employers etc. about you/whether you worked there. You fill out the forms and they do the rest.

 

There's obviously something you're trying to hide. Give us a hint of what it is, then we can let you know if it would come up during background check at either location based on monkeys having gone through the process in the past...

haha I was in a board of a school organization, and used some of the org's money to buy shit for myself. got caught. have been put on probation for a year- not academic, disciplinary. so was wondering whether it would show up/ but from what i can gather, its just verifying education degrees etc etc, not your school record. am i correct in saying so?

Deleniti id dolor dolorem sit ducimus et est sint. Non omnis officiis impedit voluptatem.

Quo eius autem et architecto. Quia eos esse corrupti. Exercitationem nisi odio quis sed hic voluptatem qui. Similique vel quod laborum eum occaecati ratione repudiandae.
