Accepted and signed conditional PE offer - when to resign from current job?
Hi All,
When is an appropriate/acceptable time to resign from your current employer following accepting and signing for a new job offer? Before or after all the conditions in the offer letter have been met? What would be considereded "industry standard", i.e. what expectations would my new work place have on my eligibility to start following my notice period?
For some further context. I have signed an offer letter with my new employer, which is the main employment contract (i.e. everything is done and dusted). The offer letter however contained a few conditions on passing background checks etc., which I will have no issues passing. Question is more revolving around the expectations of my new employer for when I am able to start. I have a four weeks notice period and would the new employer expect me to resign immediatiely now (i.e. before background check has been completed) or is it acceptable/expected of me to resign once all the conditions have been met? This meaning delaying my starting date a few weeks further.
This topic has previously been discussed a bit, with diverging views on this. I would love to hear some stories from people who have done this and whether you resigned before the completion of the background checks or if you waited until all conditions were met. And also how your reasoning went for the option you chose. Any other advice would also be very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

Hey F1_button, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:

Never quit prior to passing the background check / getting all administrative elements finalized. Unlikely that there would be an issue, but if you quit your current job and then the new job falls through, you'd be in a pretty rough spot.
Advice I have been given as well.
