Goldman stops testing for weed?

Any truth to this, preferably from recent hires? Curious to see how this all changes as marijuana is more widely accepted

So, do you really think most banks even give 3 weeks notice? Most times, you get an email telling you that you have 5 days to complete a drug test with no prior warning. When do people receive these emails? Anywhere from immediately post-offer to the day you start working.

So yeah. Not 3 weeks.

 

"Most times, you get an email telling you that you have 5 days to complete a drug test with no prior warning"

Firstly, most times? Based on what? Your incoming intern experience?

Secondly, giving you a 5-day notice is giving you prior notice lol

Thirdly, by law, they are obligated to give you a minimum 10 business days notice.
