I hear the general norm in San Francisco is wearing lighter colored suits with no ties. As a summer analyst do you think it would be best to wear a tie to the first day of work and keep doing so until I've been asked not to? I'm curious as to whether it would be wise to take off my tie without asking someone first.
Thanks!





NOT a wise idea. If you go in
NOT a wise idea. If you go in and absolutely no one else is wearing a tie, including every other intern, then take it off.
Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

Who the fuck told you we wear light-colored suits?
Just wear navy or charcoal slacks with a slim-fit dress shirt every day, that's the norm in SF. Don't wear a tie, people WILL make fun of you for it if it's not your office's norm and you'll end up taking it off in the first 10 minutes anyway.

IMO, you should wear a suit
IMO, you should wear a suit and tie on the first day of work no matter what. If someone makes fun of you for it, then there's something wrong with them. Thereafter, just wear what's expected.

San Fran boys will be showing
San Fran boys will be showing off their FABOLOUS outfits and manicures and $140 hair cuts. Thats the norm I hear.
Also remember that San Fran summer is kinda cold.

Depends on the bank. Talked
Depends on the bank. Talked to the head of my tech group last summer and he's implementing a full suit, no tie rule for senior bankers. For analysts, business casual is fine, generally. Just leave a navy blazer and a tie in the office.
When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

You heard wrong. The idea that San Franciscan corporate culture is more metrosexual or fashion-obsessed than New York is outrageous. Fix your operating assumptions.

How cold is "cold"? I'm gonna be there in August, and the last time I was in San Francisco I was about... 10, so I don't remember jack. Need to figure out how heavy a set of clothing to bundle into my luggage.
August you can get away with
August you can get away with shorts and tshirt....no where near 90s.
