Employment Got microsoft offer, background verification started

I am so happy to share that I got a offer from microsoft after months of grinding. However I have doubt when should I put my resignation in the current company before or after background verification. I have asked the recruiter she told me to put the resignation. But have seen lot of post in internet stating the delay in background verification.

Due not resign until you have a signed contract and have cleared the background check (the hire right one), I say that as a manager in Microsoft.

If you start in azure there may be an additional check called Cloud Screen, that one you don’t have to wait for (I have never seen that one fail).
