[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in a litigating division as a trial attorney and then in a leadership role where I was privy to hiring info. It could be different in the United States Attorney's Office where you have been hired (this does vary a bit), but we brought attorneys on board before their background checks were completed; folks would simply begin work, knowing that they could be let go if they were found unsuitable. So, at least in our office, you would probably start before your background check is complete, so waiting for the completion of that wouldn't be something to worry about.

I know this doesn't totally answer your question regarding what you should "do," but hopefully the context helps a bit. [/quote]

From OP: Thanks so much for this answer! The HR person seemed to explain that there was a two-step check process and I could start after step one while the second step remains pending. Honestly, my preference is to start as soon as possible, get settled, take 6-8 weeks when the baby is born, and go back. I have an older child so I am not delusional about how hard having a baby is. My husband can watch the baby at home during his generous leave when I go back.[/quote]

I mean you are a little downplaying how hard it is to have 2 small children.[/quote]
