Accepting 2 offers is highly frowned upon and could lead to you losing both. Keeping off previous degrees from your resume is fine and will not lead you to fail a background check. Lies on your resume will, but a resume is a 1 page highlight and not a CV and there’s no requirement to put everything about yourself on there.
👍
How would they know you have a 2nd offer
Firstly, no issue with leaving off experience and degrees.
Backgrounds checks for age don’t matter. Second of all it is illegal to reject based on age. So nobody will open that can of worms post offer. Before maybe.
In case you are anxious and need a backup to sleep at night:
If this is for a job immediately, then background checks take two weeks. So keep recruiting, worst case you have an interview you need to cancel.
If this is for the fall, the background check may not occur until July. You can get a second offer, and then wait for them to clear. But honestly this just so you can sleep at night. Since your worries are not really real.
Appreciate your advice! This is actually a SA offer for next year. So the background check won't happen until next year this time. Anything I should do between now and next year in case the background check doesn't go through?
Woah. That’s far out. I assume most other fields don’t recruit that far out for the summer of 24.
If you really need or want the security blanket, recruit for another gig (non-banking) and if everything clears, just cancel: say you had a family issue or something may of 2024.
Honestly a waste of time. That could be better spent preparing for your banking summer. But I understand being anxious. Nevertheless banking is really about confidence and this issue will manifest in other forms throughout your life.
Unless you have a murder charge floating around, the background check is not a problem. They do not give one single shit about your age or irrelevant previous jobs (totally okay to not put those on your resume). It's a third party who conducts it and their job is to check 1. criminal record, and 2. that you've worked everywhere you say you have.
Definitely do not accept another offer. BBs take older unconventional candidates all the time
👍
Nah man you gotta look out for yourself. If you’re afraid of getting dinged, accept both offers and 2 months before start go with the one you think best fits your priorities.
Just make sure to be formal and vague when explaining to the other firm why you won’t be joining them
How can u do a second BA?
