True. It means they won't pay you enough to warrant you getting dressed up, or enough to be able to afford a decent suit.
Totally dude. That's why entry-level FAs @ PWM shops make $2.75MM (on average) starting out -- because they are rocking zegna to their office every day. I'd also say there is a massive correlation between the clothes you wear and your compensation, and not performance and/or industry and/or competitiveness of firm. You're a genius. Can you be my mentor? Alternatively, could we be BFFs

I meant for client facing positions. I'm on board with the_V on this one. Wonder if this is a way to vet out max potential earnings between different firms.
Reconcile with comp for entry level FAs pls THX
 

Damn I was going to inb4, short and his sweatpants comment beat me to it... shit pay= Shirt, tie and nametag.... everyday... (see: any fast food manager)

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Serious question to all BC/Cas people on here. Do you think you'd be making more if the culture were Suit/Tie? Less? Unchanged?

Really? How would wearing a suit make you better at your job, which I guess would lead you to make more money? Does wearing a suit increase your IQ, analytic abilities or problem solving skills?

If you were somehow coming off as unprofessional to clients, a suit could maybe help, but honestly, it doesn't matter.

Personally, I would be less productive in a more formal environment because I think ties are uncomfortable.
