No at my small IB boutique

Really only at public companies. Very unlikely at a private company.

Public companies drug test for regulatory reasons since eyes are on them. It’s a ridiculous cost that builds up over time and provides no benefit to a company. Private companies don’t want to waste cash on drug tests, and so they typically don’t.

not in my experiences at Tier 1 BB
