I recently accepted a job offer with a start date of October 26. However, I need to pass a background check and a drug test before I can give my two weeks' notice at my current job. I communicated to the hiring manager that I need the background check completed by the end of business on October 9 to be able to submit my resignation first thing on October 12. Ideally, I would prefer to put in my notice on October 9, but I haven't even been contacted to schedule the drug test yet. I'm considering asking the new employer to push back my start date by a week to ensure everything is in order before I leave my current position. I'm feeling a bit anxious about the timeline and whether I should be more proactive in addressing this with the new company.
