BCG SEA - When to resign from your current job

Congratulations on the offer!

Short answer, feel free to resign unless you’re concerned about something in your history eg criminal records etc. it’s mostly a formality.

You can probably resign now, although the safest bet would be to wait until the background check comes back, just to be 100% sure there's no mistake/anomaly.

Congratulations on your offer!

Hi,

Based on your feedback, chances are high you will receive the offer. Congrats.

I would play it on the safe side and wait till BCG confirms.

I'm almost certain that the background check will go well based on your description, but you never know. 

So don't quit. 

Wait. It shouldn't take that much longer. 

It's best to have a signed contract in front of you before you let go of alternatives.

And congrats, btw!
Best,

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the offer from BCG!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, I would advise you to wait until the background check is fully completed and you have the final confirmation in writing before handing in your resignation. Even if it’s rare, there can always be some unexpected delay or issue.
• Moreover, I would advise you to consult an labor lawyer who has in-depth knowledge of the situation in your country.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming consulting career start with BCG, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best

Hi,

I truly think safest route would be just to wait! (But you're probably in the clear).

You can literally resign the same hour you get your final approval!

Good luck and congrats!!!!
