when do background checks happen?
I was wondering when background checks generally happen for sa? I'm going to be at a west coast eb, and received basic communication from HR in january, but nothing since then. just curious, thanks!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, background checks for summer analyst (SA) positions typically occur after an offer has been extended and accepted. The exact timing can vary depending on the firm and its processes, but it's common for these checks to start a few months before the internship begins. Since you mentioned receiving basic communication from HR in January and considering it's now March, it's possible that the background check process could begin soon if it hasn't already. It's always a good idea to reach out to HR for an update if you're unsure about the status of your background check or if you have any specific concerns. They're there to help and can provide the most accurate information regarding their processes.

Should be in the next few weeks.
Is this for 24 or 25?
‘24. Background checks usually go up around March/April before the start date.
I got assigned mine in the last week or so, they gave me until the middle of March to submit it.
Why the fuck do you care?
I’ve had no communication since signing offer in October. Is this normal? (LDN)
Yes. Some firms may go months at a time before reaching out. But the closer you get to the date, the more likely you are to hear something. If you’re still nervous, reach out to HR.
Mine said it would be a month before start date
