Based on your experience, how does the background check process work for incoming IB summer analysts? When does it usually start (spring or late fall) and once it starts, does drug testing occur simultaneously or later toward the start date?
Thanks

Firm contacted me around spring time to start background check, had 72 hours to complete drug test. (for EB)
Thanks. So if I've been contacted already for the background check now in the fall( for an upcoming summer analyst position), there will likely be a drug test soon?
Stop smoking the weed now may be one idea
