Do any companies still drug test? Big 4 doesn’t as far as I know but what about Accenture or non-public accounting firms?

A lot of industry jobs do. Which is crazy considered Congress can’t be drug tested as it’s considered to be an invasion of privacy 😂.

Drug testing is a waste regardless. The only thing that stays in your system more than a few days is weed lol.

Industries do and some require their advisors to pass drug tests as well - especially in the pharmaceutical industry.

I interviewed with a regional accounting firm that told me ahead of time they drug test everyone because they mostly serve defense contractors who require it.

Regulated financial services entities are required to drug test for most positions.

I’ve had multiple clients in the FinTech space require me to get tested as a consultant. Of course the firm says that we can refuse, but can you really?

Big 4 doesn’t but I’ve had clients make me get drug tested before I was allowed in the audit room.

A few fortune 500s still require it.

Does anyone know if the IRS still does? Specifically, do they care about weed? I live in a legal state, if that makes a difference.

Even in a state where it’s legal? I do edibles on occasion. So annoying that I have to worry about this now potentially interfering with a job offer when it’s legal in the state. I don’t even drink and pretty “boring” and clean-cut.

I'm on the same boat as you (see my above question about the IRS). I don't think most industry jobs in my city would drug test, but don't quote me on it.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.
