Congratulations! Sounds like your last job was awful. Is this one going to be

No I think this one will be MUCH better.

"nevermind. I'd like to stay here. I failed my background check"

Sounds like you think there is something they could find, so I would wait

I don’t know what they’d find. I have OCD and I tend to overthink things heavily

Let's hope the background check doesn't have access to cougarboard,

There is no upside to notifying them now.

Employers should do background checks

That is what people forget about. Credit checks can be part of it.

I definitely waited to notify because the new offer was contingent on passing the background check

Uh yea no. Wait until you pass background check

In these situations, always CYB and wait until everything is finalized

I have never notified until the new job was 100%, and don't notify until you

Yup, especially if you have anything on a computer or papers you’d like to keep. Assume that as soon as you notify

I've seen way too many surprise issues come up. Hold off until you are clear.

Why would you ever tell your current employer before everything is done?

Yup take leave the week you start your new job, this way if it get rescinded at the last minute you still have a job
