Get that PTO in!
If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

I thought you were going to say you took the test three days ago, then smoked a giant blunt in the parking lot afterwards and now they want you to retake it. That would have been a good story! Your story is just, meh

Same lmao
People really turn you down because you drink too much water?
Yeah they’ll let you retest. If you drink too much water then ur results come out diluted, happened to me once. HR just said there was something wrong with the test, which they’re not allowed to know due to HIPPA. So they told me to reschedule a new test, no problems whatsoever. Happens a lot

Question doesn’t make sense. Drinking a lot of water and going doesn’t impact what is in your urine they are testing for

It can mess with the concentration of the substances being tested for, causing a test to be under threshold. OP unless you drank a gallon of water you’re probably fine. People who are diluting to pass are drinking gallons.
The only reason you should be worried about is if you've been doing a lot of drugs.

Really don’t understand why anyone drug tests. If you can show up to work and get your job done, why should anyone care if you’re rolling up after work? Nobody asks if you’re drinking alcohol after work
It's mainly for insurance purposes. WC gives a discounted rate for drug testing.
Wait .. Auditing firms require drug tests ?
No. I am leaving BDO. It’s an industry position
Chill - know someone who smoked a week before a test, chugged water until the test, then came out clean. You’ll be fine.
Question - In states where it’s legal recreationally, do companies still drug test? I never smoked before, but it’s way better for me than drinking and now I don’t drink hardly at all but obviously drinking is legal and weed isn’t federally 🙄
Yes, some do. If you aren’t driving a company vehicle you should be fine. You should be fine to smoke unless you are job seeking. If you are job seeking just stop when you feel like an offer is close. If you only smoke on weekends, it is out of your system in a week or so.
Hahahaha.... I've taken well over 100 drug test in my life (military and when I worked construction). I've never heard this happening to anyone , including myself, and there were plenty of times I was informed right after I had just went, so I sat there and drank water nonstop for the next however long it took.
I live in a legal marijuana rec state and I’m an accountant. Why does my future industry employer care?
I’m hoping the States pass laws banning testing for marijuana for non-risk roles.
Some companies have government contracts that require them to get drug tested
Lmao this happened to me too. Mine cleared. You’ll be fine.
Companies can drug test for whatever they want whether the drug is legal or not. There’s no rule saying that companies can’t not hire (or fire for that matter) someone for failing a drug test for a legal drug.
Lol I’d be more worried about what kind of boomers you’re going to work for that still require a drug test in 2020.

Most of them
I don’t think it effects in any ways on the outcome of the test results. These reagents are capable of slight trace of the drugs. Also I have been in the industry and there they would randomly pick employees on hour’s notice to submit for onsite sample. So if you are experimenting anything you need to get your affairs in order ASAP basis.
VP 1: It would make sense if employees works on a drill ship which cost about $ 400M even in todays’s market. The kind of drill ship which blew up in Gulf of Mexico on Macando well.
I’ve done great accounting on all types of substances- unless you plan on operating heavy machinery (arguable in my case, since I’m built like a tank), I don’t know why they bother.
