How anal are BB's with background checks? I think I made a mistake in the "address history" section. They asked for a full record of addresses I lived in the past 10 years and I just can't remember all the addresses as I have moved more than 5 times. Are they really picky with this?

Not in my experience. Just put down whatever you can conjure up as you're filling it out.
I think you're fine... it's drugs, crime, and problems w/past employers that they are really concerned about. if they do have a problem or question they will ask
Goldman? When do you start?
Is this for SA or FT?
alright here's the deal with these checks. simple criminal check for SA will not ask you for address history.
FT will, and the purpose of this is so you can obtain your Series 79 and 63 license. SEC requires you to provide your address history and you WILL need to be 100% accurate with it. SEC will find out and will reject your firm's sponsorship of you taking the Series exam.
HR wouldn't care, just tell him you forgot one or made a mistake and they can change it. If you drag it out, you will piss off a lot of people.
