Can you take PTO as a 1st year analyst?

I am in the interview process at Jefferies for a 1st yr analyst IB position (M&A). What is generally accepted for a 1st year analyst and taking PTO? Hypothetically if I were to receive an offer and start 2 week prior to planned PTO, should I expect my trip to be cancelled?
