Freaking out of the Investment Banking Background Check
I am applying to all 25 SA right now, and I was doing two unpaid internships at the same time. But on my CV, I reorganized the time of those internships just wanted to make them appear chronologically. For example, I was interning at firms A and B, both from May 2023 to Nov 2023. But on my resume, I...
Investment Banking Summer SA Background Check

Recently accepted an offer from a firm which is contingent on a background check. I didn't lie on my resume, but here's the situation.

Hi WSO , The background checks are about to start for all the SA in UK. Even though I haven't lied on my resume, I am a bit nervous.

SA background check start
When do the background checks start for SA's? Is it when you sign your contract or do they wait for all offers to be given out and do them in feb/march time?
