My SA letter states the completion of a drug test... on anon so don't mind disclosing that it's Evercore NYC. I smoke weed socially a few times a month and am wondering when they usually roll those out (weed takes like a month to clear)

Piss test a ~week before starting.
Awesome, thank you
It’s a urine test 72 hours to a week before your start date.
Just put down the bong for a month or two and you’ll be fine. One word of caution — the tests aren’t the most reliable, and there’s a chance you’ll have to retake in the first week, so don’t celebrate until you’re sure you pass.
Good to know. Thank you!
Weed can take far longer than a month to clear depending on how much you smoke.
You should be in the clear though as banks are not allowed to test for weed anymore by law
Is that so? Is this a recent law?

My EB canceled drug tests due to virtual SA last summer. If it’s online again you can (maybe?) expect the same thing
