I know some companies/firms are kinda anal when it comes to appearance, in that, they value traditional appearances very much. I have long hair, but I don't wear it out. I usually have it tied up. Would that matter? I'm not cutting my hair. My hair stays until I lose it naturally. I like my long hair. I'm staying metal.
P.S. If you think my question is stupid, then don't answer. Move on. I don't have time for childishness.

So... you're not going to cut your hair... even if it costs you a job. Really? In this economy? More jobs for us I guess...
Yes. Thanks for being an asshole, btw. :)
If you don't get a job because of your hair, than it might be for your grammar (I personally don't care, but the bank might)
"Will I be able to get a job?"
Troll fail is fail
Gosh, this site is such a joke. It's filled to the brim with a bunch of smug Mr. Know-It-Alls. If I ask any question at all that you guys know the answer to, you get all smug on me. Just answer the fucking question without bringing irrelevant shit into it. It's not hard, really.
User - dude, I don't know you at all but I think it would be in your best interest to stop pissing off a lot of the more active users here. It will be very hard to get any substantive feedback if you alienate yourself like that.
It's not pissing off. It's called defending myself. They (including yourself) have consistently started with me. All I do is ask INNOCENT questions. Fuck off.
Why would a company want to hire someone who doesnt want to adhere to basic conventions of society? Being stubborn aint a trait you want for an entry level position.

Fuck jobs. Stay metal brother. Start a band.
I'm not sure if you're being serious or being sarcastic. In any case, I'm kinda in a band right now. I also do other music as well...not that it matters.
I'm always serious.
el-em-aooowwww
Wow! You must be a really boring person, then? Haha...sucks to be you. Btw, fuck you.
Should probably just ban you instead but whatever.
Ban me for what? Because of my language? It's you guys who are being assholes with me first. Besides, what would a ban do? I can easily start a new account under a different IP and different email.
be a metal trader and stay metal. some of those dudes might get a kick out of it for a year or two if you don't fuck up and then you can start a fund called "Stay Metal" and attract enough retards to guitar solo for the rest of your life
METTTALLLL BRAAAAA
If you get banned and start a new account under a different IP and different email will you stop being such a tool?
Hey douchelord, in what way am I being a tool? Please explain.
U have more bananas than me :O
U have more bananas than me :O
You came here asking for the answer to a stupid question. You got blunt and/or sarcastic replies. You started cursing at everybody for being mean. Does the world not treat you right?
You must be a Democrat.
If it was stupid, why did you answer then? Move on. Do you answer stupid questions regularly? Is that what you do?
Fuck democrats. Fuck republicans. Fuck politics. Fuck you.
Cut your hair (didn't read all posts above). I just cut my hair. It makes me look organized, and that I care about my job.
I don't keep my hair messy though. Are you saying that women look messy because they have long hair? Long hair doesn't imply messiness. I choose to have long hair, but I keep it nice. Plus, from the front you can't even tell, because I always have it rolled up in the back.
Long hair don't care.
I don't normally answer stupid questions. If you noticed I didn't answer yours, either. If you recall a couple posts back you were bitching about me not answering your questions. Somebody's a leetle beet spoiled
Oh, right, technically...no you didn't answer. But, you know what I mean asshole, I mean do not reply to my post if you're not going to answer. All you're doing is wasting your time, dumbass. Your replies, your profile pic, both point to troll characteristics, so if anything...YOU are the troll.
Just cut your hair. I have alternated between like shoulder length and buzz often. I would rather make dat $100k than look metal any day.
Also, it's not a joke you should be a little nicer unless you are just trolling. Because you WILL get banned.
No, I'm not trolling. Honestly, I keep long hair because I like it. I just threw in the "metal" part for fun. Plus, I get mad pussy with it. I look better with long hair...everybody always tells me that.
Does your boyfriend tell you that? Mine used to love to hang on to my hair and run his paws through it while punishing me.
You a chick with a dick brahh? No chicks with dicks in my office.
Tell that to a bunch of metalheads and you'll get your ass kicked..quick fast.
Naw, you wouldnt want to rip a hole in your skinny jeans now.
Actually you're right, that was kinda the point of posting here, wanted to waste some time...
Wow! Then you really are loser who sits by the computer. Go out and get some pussy, faggot.
I'll be whatever you want me to be big boy ;)
The metal heads remind me a lot of the preppy kids. They all think theyre badasses. It's amusing.
I also listen to underground hardcore rap. You got a problem with that too, fag? Hood girls love me too btw. I'm not joking when I say i get mad pussy. And it's mostly because of my involvement with music and my appearance (which is a mixture of metal and hip hop).
If in my interview the recruiter says that kids at UPenn are smarter and that I should not get the job I will refer him to this post .......... of course no offense to you
There's a difference between academics and behavior. Academically, I'm Penn quality. Behavior and appearance wise..I'm music video quality.
Oh really, you fucked up little emo kids "in the pit"? Man you MUST be a badass.
Which death metal bands?
Many. I'm not going to listen them all. I'll direct you to a good blog though, which lists many bands I listen to. I mostly listen to slam death metal and brutal death metal. I don't fuck with deathcore that much, because they attract a lot of emo fags.
http://slammingbrutaldeath.blogspot.com/
I thought you were gonna be a really shitty troll, but you exceeded expectations. I give you a B+
Thoughts on sepultura and meshuggah? Used to listen to that type of shit.
Yeah, I like some old school Sepultura. I like that early thrash sound. Meshuggah isn't really my type of sound. When it comes to metal, I like really really really guttural vocals, making it sound burpy or froggy at times. I like blast beats but not too much. I value a nice groovy breakdown as well. The type of slammy breakdown that's almost orgasmic...really. Two good bands are Devourment and Cephalotripsy. Devourment's insane. They pretty much started the whole slam death metal shit, which tends to attract a lot of hardcore kids and rap kids. Their pit is fucking incredible too.
does it really matter though, lets say you have medium hair that is clean, aka no grease will it be an auto ding if they see you with that?
Do you like OK Go!?
like this
but about 2 inches shorter but same textured look
so like this
That's not long enough. I like to be able to tie it back. Thanks for the suggestions though!
i was asking for me because that is how my hair looks
so can a member please answer
mine is like a miture of theres but again, not greasy but textured
Anyone listen to some modern DJENT bands? These guys are fucking sick (undoubtedly better than Periphery and Animals As Leaders):

Wow! How original!
[quote=Macro Arbitrage]Anyone listen to some modern DJENT bands? These guys are fucking sick (undoubtedly better than Periphery and Animals As Leaders):

Yeah, I saw Animals As Leaders in last year's Summer Slaughter tour. They were good definitely. They're like avant-garde metal or something. They're not brutal or anything but they're definitely talented and well respected because of that. Plus, it sucks that they don't have any vocals.
Avant-grade metal? You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Progressive or djent would suffice.
^ Didn't read above posts -- but to reply to OP:
Ok I understand. But again my recommendation:
This isn't the 80's, this isn't Harajuku, Tokyo Japan, and this isn't Google, Facebook, or SCVNGR. Everyone at the BB I am at this summer has short hair. I used to have very long hair in high school, and I behaved the same way. Anyway, your choice.
But there is no choice to write like this on here. Any MD would have fired you already if he knew you were this finicky. We had an associate who didn't come to work (took a day off) after he went out drinking RE: the Bruins game celebration. My director called him a "fucking pussy."
Well that's the beauty of this site: I'm anonymous. And as for binge drinking, believe it or not, I don't drink...never have. People find that hard to believe because of my choice in music.
Likewise, but I'm fairly certain that you're trolling.
Op, do you attend Wharton?
What's Op? If you're referring to me, then no. I'm studying SAS economics.
Op means original poster. As for your original question, you are going have to cut your hair for a job on Wall Street. The culture in wall street is very conservative, so you have to conform to their guidelines in order to get a job there. It sucks but you gotta make money.
I do agree that some of the posters on this site can be very rude and condescending but don't let some of them give you a bad impression of people on the street. There are some very nice guys who are very helpful. Word of advice: try using the search button for questions and tone it down with the cursing.
Good luck on your career search!
answerm y question ffs
U are racking up soo many bananas by responding back :O
I had a reply written up, but it's not worth it..
long hair - cool or not cool (Originally Posted: 01/01/2015)
Hey,
If I'm interviewing for internships, as well as meeting with people to learn more about certain very prestigious PE and IB firms, how kosher is it to have long hair (as a male)? It's not shoulder length, but it's getting there, not long enough for a ponytail or bun at this point but will be come summertime. I'm wondering if I should cut it to avoid making a bad impression.
If this post made you lol I would still appreciate some advice! thanks!
No upside and significant downside. It's a terrible idea. Do you value your hair or your career more? Wait to get a stupid haircut when you have a significant P&L, people will care a lot less at that point. Right now? You are a commodity, not a special snowflake.
Thanks for your prompt reply! Do you think you could be more sarcastic and caustic in the future?
Hadn't read your comment all the way through before I added. Last line just made me LOL.
@"DickFuld"'s words are golden - listen and obey
Perfect answer.
At this point you should have a short, professional haircut and be clean shaven for every interview/networking event you go to.
Don't listen to @"DickFuld" , at this point you should be trying to stand out. Would you rather promote another mindless analyst or someone with Brad Pitt's mane from World War Z? The choice is clear. FWIW, if you don't mention your conditioner under the "Leadership" section on your resume, I throw it out. It's faster and has better long term efficacy than @"SSits" method of sorting through 200+ resumes. After all, we're hiring for "tomorrow."
Also wise to include a headshot with your resume. 8x10 glossy is pretty standard.
Always hand deliver. Never email.
That's the spirit!
new year, same retard
@"Flake" amirite?
It's like he's fucking 5.
Don't listen to these haterz, Wall St. is fully of Lax brahs who all rock and respect a solid flow.
so there's a direct correlation between lettuce and lettuce?
Short professional hair cut .

Of course you should if you wish yourself to look professional. Only if you have a hair-cut it can happen. Otherwise no.
This gets asked multiple times a week, and the resounding answer is: no long hair, cut it. Banking / PE is conservative and its not worth sinking your chances at even a few top firms just for a hairstyle.
I think the same troll asks this every week.
