Worried About Background Check? I Lied About Leaving for Studies, Now What?

I have lied about the reason for leaving my current company. I told them I was going for higher studies, but I was actually joining another company. My doubt is whether the reason for leaving will cause any problem in the background check of the new company.

If the new company's background check team asks the previous company's HR about the reason for leaving, they will know the higher studies reason that I gave. Will this cause any problems for my employment in the new company?

Thank you!

I hope you have not mentioned higher studies as the reason for leaving the service. Such clever tactics will not pay off in the long run, and now you seem to be getting worried. This raises questions about your credibility as a young professional. Be prepared to explain why you chose to opt out of higher studies and instead joined the new company. Such incidents are common in organizations, and it is unlikely that they will take action against you for this.
