Bank Drug Test

I'll be an incoming FT analyst for an NYC MM bank (HW/Jefferies/HL) and didn't intern there over the summer. Don't really know anyone at the bank I'm going to so was wondering if the above banks drug test new hires? I definitely don't wanna take the risk if my bank does test, but it'd be nice to know if I can smoke a bit before I start my analyst stint.

Makes sense thanks. Although it's not clear whether I'll be remote or in-person yet. Anyone know whether the new NYC law that prohibits companies from testing for THC applies to banks? It exempts any firms that contract with the government I think but can't find a definitive answer if that applies to banks

 

Don't know why it's so hard not to just not smoke until you know when/if you'll be tested.  If you don't know for sure that they're not testing, you should assume that they are - the risk/reward is incredibly lopsided.   

I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young, they bring you up to do like your daddy done
