I recently joined company ‘X’ been here for only a month and got offer from company ‘Y’ with better growth but I mentioned that am still at Cerner. Is it a problem?. Update: contacted recruiter again and it went fine. #engineering #software #swe
They'll find out during background verification. It won't mostly matter. Just tell the recruiter that you were with the old company when you interviewed and had to make a decision due to deadlines

Can you lie? Yes. Should you lie? No.
If they run a background check based on start and end dates, wouldn’t Cerner certify your last day was in the past and that you aren’t currently employed with them? Simple check and you are flagged
Is it a problem you lied? Yes - lol. The only thing a background check for employees really confirms is the start and end dates of your employment. Dishonesty is the problem here though, not the evidence of it. Follow up and tell them the truth, doubt it will cost you an offer if you’re quick to clarify.
No need to lie. You got a better offer, tell them exactly that. If they want more justification say you’re not a good fit where you are.
Just say you are about to start at company “X” but willing to leave.
Yes and it’s better for your back than sitting
😂
Why lie? If you got an unexpected superior offer, take it and be honest about why you're leaving.
It could be. Your background check will likely show that you are working at X. Don't lie if possible.
At the same time, in either case you will burn bridges with one of X or Y, so go for it
