Do NOT take a test unless you 100% know you will pass it. Delay

Unless you have the slowest metabolism on earth, you’ll be fine after 5 days or so from occasional use. Get a home test on Amazon, it’s basically what the lab will use. They only do the highly accurate test if that one comes up positive. What a waste of resources eh? Can you imagine if they tested for weekend alcohol use on Mondays?

First, recognize that if you are an infrequent user, it probably only is detectable for about 15 days. If you can stall a little, do. Second, I don’t think any consulting firm would see weed as a fireable offense but it might keep you from going on to that client. Finally, remember that most people have dabbled - I really don’t think that it is going to impact your career in any significant way.

OP, I have some questions to better help you:
1) when was the last time you smoked?
2) how often do/did you smoke?
3) how in shape are you?

D1, not true at all. Even in states where it is recreationally legal by state standard, it is still illegal by federal standard and candidates will normally be disqualified. The only way that doesn't happen is if they do not test for weed. Some companies are choosing to go that route because they know it lowers their talent pool but most still do test for it. And it is still a disqualifier.

Another option is to drink tons of water just before the test so your sample is diluted. Buys time before they call you for a retest Honestly you’ll be fine

like

Are they testing for weed? Cause weed isn’t illegal in 100% of states and sometimes these tests are only for hard substances that are entirely illegal in all states

You are fine just stop smoking and drink lots of water and run. Even without doing all that you’re fine

You can also purchase synthetic pee if the above test turns out positive. It works. Check out urineluck (amazing pun) these will pass GC-MS assays

1 week ago. Occasionally with friends not everyday. I’m in pretty good shape @P1

Do you know when the drug test would be?

Quit and move to Denver

1. PwC AC is offshore counterpart of PwC US. Good salary. No travel opportunities. Average yearly hike ~10% Mostly technical work.
2 PwC India is a pure consulting firm. Salary better than PwC AC. client facing work. Can grow as a management consultant. Great Travel opportunities.
