I recently started my background check for SA 2022 for an IB in NYC. After I was done, I got an email asking to schedule a drug test. I've read on WSO that those weren't a thing anymore. Am I fucked? I have THC in my system for at least the next 3 weeks. Need help

What bank?

Come on... as a banker you have to be more creative than this... never heard of Covid? Can't be that difficult "to test positive"? That'll buy you some time.
If there is a pandemic going on, at least use it to your advantage.
Hahaha I like this thanks man
I don’t think they can test for weed anymore though.
Does it change things if I am under 21?
Following.
It’s Jefferies. Got the email too.
Just curious did your background check ask for employment verification contact info? Mine didn't and idk how they're supposed to do the background check without it.
I’ve never had a job so I didn’t but it didn’t ask for internship verification.
EVR also drug testing incoming SAs and FTs
wait seriously? Even EVR NYC?
Are you in NYC? If so they won't test for weed, just hard drugs. Make sure you don't take Adderall or anything similar unless you have a prescription for it, that will show up too
Even if under 21?
yes it's completely illegal to test for weed in NYC regardless of age
Guys -
Use Quick Fix. It’s synthetic urine and will pass any preemployment screening. I’ve had 2 friends recently pass using it (although, I’ve never used it myself). All you need to do is get the temperature right and your good. Drug testing is archaic, so you should beat it with technology. Buy quickfix from its official website too. You can get overnight delivery. Godspeed, brother.
So if I'm starting FT in a week, and the bank hasn't tested yet, is it safe to assume they won't? They didn't test for SA and did background check months ago. Only thing is weed which is illegal to test for in NYC and shrooms which I don't think most tests look for.
Are you all really that addicted that you can’t put weed down for a month for your job?
It’s not about that. It’s about the fact that I have absolutely no reason to. Banking is smooth brained work, and I have the right to be high as shit before/after/during the working day if I can still get the job done.
That’s freedom.
