If it wouldn't affect you completing your work/won't have to keep taking time off for medical appointments etc then shouldn't be something to worry about

Many employers of scale would require shortlisted candidates to have medical check-up before confirming the job offer. Unless illness is life-threatening and/or needed to handle with care, most employers will still proceed with the job offer when medical results showed anomalies. Nevertheless, honesty is the best policy. Adults having ideal health, are rare nowadays. Alternatively, you could seek WSG for career assistance.

As long as it doesn't affect your performance on the job. Also, maybe company insurance need to know

Majority of the companies for full-time or permanent role require pre-medical checkup to see if you're physically fit for the job. yes, you can still get a full time job even with pre-exiting illness.

​

if you feel comfortable to talk with the hiring manager about your condition and see what their reaction is to adjust your work load with them.

​

It also good in some way to know whether you are able to work long in the company, knowing the job culture and who you are working with or suitable for the job role. It an experience to go through.

​

it up to you to decide to declare or not. depending on what's your pre-exiting illness is.

​

FYI, one of my job, I declare my pre-exiting illness and got a letter from the doctor to proof that i am fit to work. And got the job after discussing with the hiring manager, got to work with great team mate as well.

​

Overall, do take into consideration of your health first, do not overexert yourself just for finance sake. Because, the aftermath of having a deteriorating health is more costly (medical fee) than earning money. I had my fare share of damage through experience.

​

Hope these helps.

Some companies do pretty intense background checks. Try to avoid those....
