Not going to lie, it’s been a rough 2 years trying to land a software engineering job.
I’ve done whatever I had to just to stay afloat. Contracts, trying to learn a trade, warehouse work. I’ve even been rejected from customer support roles. At the same time, I’ve had a ton of interviews. Applied to easily 10,000+ roles at this point. A lot of rejections, a lot of making it to final rounds and still getting turned down.
I finally got a verbal offer, signed everything, and now I’m in the background check stage. It went through B.I.G and is now with the company for internal review. Just waiting to hear back so I can get cleared and start.
For anyone who’s been through this, how long does the internal review usually take after the background check is submitted? Mine was sent Monday, May 4, and I’m just waiting on the recruiter to call and say everything is cleared.
