To my understanding NY banks no longer drug test for marijuana (what do they test for then if at all?). Does this standard also apply in California? Particularly for FT starting next summer. If not, when can I expect the testing process to begin?
Also if it’s different bank by bank, I’m particularly interested in the BB’s new drug testing policies.
SB for the most comprehensive (ease my Mary Jane loving mind) response.

Aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooo🤙🏼🌳🔥
Nobody knows anything?
Everybody who could answer this is to stone too answer this.
hello fellow stoners. depends on the bank, EB I was at tested a couple weeks before starting FT training
When, this year? Also is this CA or NYC?
Commercial bank I interned at in SF didn’t drug test. Did full backgchecks and fingerprint scans but no drug test
Just have a fake dick and clean piss ready at all times. Rather be over-prepared than under-prepared.
With Bonuses down this year, I am now entering the piss market and hoping to provide some much needed liquidity. Let me know if you want to buy.
I guess it’s not too hard to find an alibi for having a fake dick with you should it be found...
Lmao, guys. It's banking. Half the workforce would be unemployed if they drug tested.
Really? WSO makes it seem like cardinal sin #1 in comparison to the booger sugar.
I just see Timmy doing his remote SA stint at his parents house, ripping lines off his Ikea desk as his mom walks in and he just say "its part of the job"
Also on another note, I think that drug use is a lot less in the banking world then you would actually think.
Got drug tested a month or two before internship start date. Dicks only gave us 72 hours to get it done during a pandemic...
Oof what type of bank was this? BB, EB?

I had a drug test before I started at JPM. This is standard in corporate America: get tested before you start work and then never again.
That never again part sounds great to me.
Most people I know in banking don't do drugs or they tried it out and didn't want to do it again (which I think is like most people). The stereotype of everyone doing cocaine I think is jaded and I'd say maybe like 5-10 people in my cohort out of 150 do weed. It's not as common as this site says it is
