I'm interested as well
Not BB, but top 7 in US. 45 days within hire/start date.
Lol, what does "top 7" even mean, you have the BB/EB (which comprise of 12-15ish banks) and aside from "tiers" (GS/MS/JPM, etc)
My bad... Not with the lingo lol
I got tested for SA in May and for FT in June / July (can't remember when exactly), usually its closer to the start date
This. I remember the BB I was at wanted it done within 30 days of the official start date.
Did the offer letter explicitly mention a drug screen or were you told separately of the offer letter?
Background check for my bank starts 3 months (including drug test) therefore sometime around March
Does anyone know if Stifel and other regional banks drug tests? I have heard they don't.
.
"for a friend" lol
Hey look it's Jamie Dimon
Meta as fuck
So I was notified that I will be able to complete some sort of HR documents necessary for a background check in a few weeks, at which point I will have "not more than two weeks to complete the mandatory drug test as part of the background check."
At my BB 2 weeks to starting date for FT (experienced hire), 30 days for SA.
To answer your question, mine was in the Spring, around March I believe
but as a follow up, I see these posts all the time. can you degenerates really just not NOT do drugs for like, a few months? not that hard
Not doing drugs? What is that?
April 21st
at my MM, we were expected to complete a piss test within 1 week of signing offer. I am not chill and don't smoke weed so its not a problem for me.
At the worst possible time.
Just stop around the new year. You usually won’t get tested until May/June but on the off chance you randomly get tested in April (and smoke a ton)... you’ll be safe.
And if you go to an on-campus school just make friends with other incomings and have them open the emails ahead of time. If you are not ready for the test just don’t open the email and when they ask you pretend it hit your spam.
But in general, It’s just not worth the paranoia and stress. Just stop in January and substitute it with going out and partying more and
GS is within a few weeks of signing, most others seem to be before you begin in June. Safest bet is to lay off for the month or two before your internship- make sure to tell your friend that
Was traveling and didn't get tested before start date. Had already communicated that to the HR team. During training, they called out some names at our first break and asked us all to meet outside and a bunch of us went in for drug testing in the wellness center within the firm.
My friend's drug test is either next week, his firm tests relatively soon (compared to other firms) after an offer is accepted.
lol the most awesome name ever
Heard sometime between school end and start date. You're allowed to schedule at your convenience during that period. This was for a mid-tier BB, not sure if true for all. PM me for specific bank.
If we have a med card for use in our state, is it a problem since medical marijuana isn't legalized federally?
