Final Drug Testing Topic Ever

I know this has been played out in multiple threads but answers seem to be all over the place. Please, if you or someone you know had accepted an offer in the fall, when did you take your drug test? Pretty soon after your offer or close to your start date?

Also, I accepted roughly one month ago and already have my signing bonus, so would my situation point to being tested in the summer?

I'm sure it varies bank to bank. Generally HR will send a document along with the offer that states "60 days prior to start" or will give you some range of time as to when you will need to take a drug test.

Did it not mention anything in the offer papers or accompanying documents with the offer?

I only still have my offer letter as much of the entire package was sent back in along with my signatures and everything and that doesnt have anything. I get the feeling that most places are closer to the start date. Just sucks not knowing yet.

 

do they randomly drug test you once youre in? or is this not like the nfl? dont expect to be looking for a new job for 2 or 3 years....
