Worried About Fake Salary Slip in Background Check? Seeking Advice on What to Do Next

I have been selected in an MNC company, and my background verification is complete. I am now onboard. However, I am worried because my employer will check my current company verification after 45 days. I am concerned because I provided a fake salary slip to negotiate a higher salary. My career path has been promising, and I have been a good performer, loyal, and honest throughout my 7-year career. Despite this, I made a silly mistake. Now, I feel guilty and unsure of what to do. Please advise me on this. Thank you.

Dear HD3725,

There is really nothing that you can do at this stage. You can go and tell the HR that you have made such a blunder and then hope that they still keep you in the company (most likely they will dismiss you immediately for providing misleading information).

The second thing is to wait and hope that they somehow do not catch wind of your career blunder.
