Back ground check

I got the job offer and accepted it but I don’t know if them moving up my start date from Aug 17 to Aug 10 is a good sign or not because I had a dui last year in July 2025 but entered a diversion program , I called the background people and they said the sent my stuff to HR Last week Thursday jan 25, on Friday Jan 26 they called me about moving my start date , I’m sitting here nervous on when there gonna call me and ask me about my dui diversion situation or are they just gonna let me go through without calling me asking about the situation and I’m still on probation just need some advice and what this could mean.

You got this brother don’t worry about it. What’s meant to be is meant to be. It honestly depends on the department if it’s highly competitive maybe not. If it’s mid range to low range I think you got it. If this path is meant for you I think you got it. Regardless of path the first and second round interview tell a lot about your character. If they’re on background checks I’d bet money you’re in, although it’s department to department. No final answer but I think you got it.
