Background check for IBD SA

Hello everyone, I am an incoming SA at a BB in the IBD. I was wondering when does the background check usually take place? and when they do it, do they use the Resume that I used for recruiting or do they ask for an updated Resume and then do the background check based on that updated Resume?

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Julien was excellent. He came extremely prepared, had clearly reviewed my resume in detail, and tailored the mock interview closely to the role I’m interviewing for. I especially appreciated how he kept pushing when I hesitated rather than immediately giving me the answer, which made the technical practice much more realistic. His feedback afterward was specific, thoughtful, and very actionable, particularly around how I should frame my motivations for banking.”

“Super helpful and knowledgeable on the technicals, and was able to fullfill my request for the perfect amount of difficulty. He ended up spending more time than booked to explain the different concepts, and had a lot of actional takeaways that i was able to learn from. I would definelty book another seesison.”
