Hi, Got an offer from Elastic (in the EU), they want me to resign from my current employer ASAP, but the contract says that it is pending a "background check", so I wouldn't want to resign until that clears ideally. Anybody know what exactly is covered in the check? Criminal records, previous/current employer, salary, title etc? I can't recall I have ever had one done in the country where I live.

Never resign before joining
Generally yes I think that is good advice. The 3 month notice periods here are a bit rough though. As an update it seems my employment verification has been cleared at least, but this is already on the third week of the check. For anyone using First Advantage, be sure to never ask them to reset your profile and upload just about every document under the sun upfront, dealing with them during the process is quite a nightmare.
