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.

Good luck and best wishes, as another user said above, medicine advances at gigantic steps each 3-4 years achieving things previously deemed as impossible.
People will definitely understand and give you the time off. And yeah if they don't, that's time to quit.
