Big 4 Advisory Dress Code

Hi monkeys,

It may sound like a random topic but I have zero clue on what I will be wearing as an entry-level associate at a Big 4 advisory. I'm curious to know if I will be wearing a suit all the time. How formal is the attire? My office is in NYC.

Thanks, and merry christmas to you all!

Its dependent on the client. At a minimum its business casual (with the exception of casual fridays), but the Big 4 will never dress below what the client's dress code is. I have been on clients where its been business format the entire time (suit and tie), but have only had a handful of clients require that.
