Hello I was just got at a firm contingent that I pass a background check. I am a late bloomer. Since my crimes were committed I have gotten my life together and went back to school.
about 9 yrs ago
I was convicted of shoplifting something so petty like jewelry worth $30
I was again convicted of Possession of Controlled Substance x2
2 total convictions 1 dismissal after completion of the first offender blah blah
Never in a million years would I have guessed that the shoplifting charge would be the one that causes me trouble later in life but apparently its a "crime of moral turpitude"
I am in the process of having all of these crimes expunged however my lawyer gave me an eta of 3-5 months
I'm at a cross roads for what I should do. Had this offer been made three months down the road after expungement I would of course have said fuck it lets do it. If I submit to the background check and fail will this pretty much screw my chances for jobs in the future? If that is the case I am wondering if I should just turn the offer down and wait until its over. (it's the only offer thats called me back after interview tbh). Its my sophomore summer so I would technically have one more summer to get an internship. These were all crimes committed when I was dumb idiot which is not representative of the person I am now but I know the bank probably doesn't give a shit about that. Will they still have my failed background check on file if I apply again next year (if I fail now). Turn the offer down and try again next summer with a clean record or go for it now ?
Technically I dont violate fdic section 19 in due to the de minimis clause. (under 21 and greater than 30 months in the past)
