Evercore Drug Test?

Has anybody ever worked at Evercore or know anybody that has? Do you know if they have a drug test? I know Lazard does (similar size institution, culture, etc), but I haven't heard anything about Evercore.

Not a big deal at all, but I just want to know what to expect if an offer comes through. I should be completely clean, but I always get super paranoid when people test what's in my body.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Of course he did something. And he should really tell us what. Very interested ;) Coke?
 
AntsmanEvery single bank that I know of has a drug test
I came in through a recruiter and wasn't tested. haha, found a loophole. Sucks, because I don't touch drugs, so I don't know what the hell I'm so happy about.

bricThanks guys. UFOinsider, you worked at Evercore?

No, not IBD, IMD actually. And no, not coke, just some herb back in the day, but it's been forever honestly. I've just never been tested, so it freaks me out a little.

If anyone can confirm, that would be great. Thanks.

Is this for FT in the asset mgmt? I am also meeting for that position.

Relax dude. If you smoked some ganga back in school no one cares, just as long as you've cleaned up your act

most places only check back 90 days. If you aren't a pot head it will only be in your system for a week or two. But, it also depends if they piss or hair test you.

If its just a piss test, I know "a friend" whose passed within a week of inhaling. Don't freak out, work out.
