Cancer and IB

Someone in my family has cancer. They have a few years left to live. I want to stay in banking post graduation (I just got a return offer). One of my main fears is that they won’t give me time off to see my parent when the time comes. As a entry level analyst, can I ask for like a week off if it’s a family emergency? Or atleast WFH?

I will quit on the spot if they don’t give it to me, but I really don’t want to do that.

Advice?

 

Of course you can. Your managers are real people and the work you are doing can easily be done by someone else.
