Know people at State Street, Morgan Stanley and JP hired in the past year that have all not been drug tested, so was just curious as many (if not the majority) of firms no longer test. If you're such a brilliant asset to the financial realm curious why you're spending your Sunday afternoon making incredibly unhelpful comments on an Internet forum, aside from clearly looking for an outlet to remind yourself of your own brilliance. You showed me!

 

Honestly, I am sure that they don't. The reality is the look for who is the best. What you do in your free time is up to you. If I were you, I would just keep up hitting the bong while looking for jobs. It will not bite you in the ass.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
 

Does anyone actually know whether BlackRock uses hair drug tests for incoming analysts? I'm worried about this - please help me out if you have any information! Thank you

 

to clear things up: as far as i know the blackrock hair test posts are just people trolling. i, and everyone i interned with, got a urine test. never heard of anyone getting a hair test. i signed back on for full-time, and imagine my surprise when i went to take my drug test and realized blackrock is now requesting a no thc 9-panel drug test. pretty sure it’s bc BLK is headquartered in NY and NY thc testing just got outlawed this spring, they’ve nixed it company wide.

 

Can you confirm if this is still the case? I'm seeing this written a few places but want to be sure. Just got a dream offer from them and I don't want the fact that I burned a J to ruin it.
