I just started an internship with MS, and I haven't done anything in months in preparation for a drug test at the start. But it's been over 2 weeks now, and I haven't been tested. Is it safe to safe that I'm not going to get tested at all, or should I wait longer?

Again don't do drugs.
Anyone work an internship with no background check/drug test? (Originally Posted: 05/03/2013)
I start an ER SA internship at an IB on May 20th, I accepted the offer the week before the end of April. I asked my interviewer after I accepted it if there was anything else I needed to do to prepare for this summer. He gave me some suggestions for material to review, but no mention of a drug test or background check.
It's a paid internship, but in the form of a bonus at the very end that's contingent on the number of hours I work.
So anyone ever work at a place that didn't background check or drug test em? I don't have anything to hide, but I don't really wanna show up on the first day and be surprised with a piss cup.
Did a ton of internships, never had a drug test.

Your interviewer isn't going to know shit about background/drug tests. Ask HR and in the mean time lay off the weed just in case, it wont kill you.
Formal SA programs at notable firms will almost always have drug tests. Probably half the places I interned at asked for a drug test. If it's regional and/or a boutique then maybe not.
I had two internships, one with a small firm and one with a large firm. The small one did a background check only, the large firm did both a background check and drug test (urine).
Yea if you dont test positive for some kind of stimulant they ding you
Had 3 internships, 2 small firms, no drug test, 1 with F500 which was a pretty intense drug test.
Intense drug test? lol what
Like the guy watched your dick as you peed or do you mean hair follicle instead of urine or 25mL threshold?
