Buzz cut is perfectly professional. Long unkept hair (or worse a manbun) is not.
Thankfully have too much self respect for the man bun. Thank you for your help!

While I don’t reckon you will see too many buzz cuts around the office, it should be fine. Most people keep the sort of private school boy style short back and sides (while they still have hair). You can take a look at the personnel page from some banks or pe funds in your area in for an idea. And congrats on the offer mate
Thank you so much for your help!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, a buzz cut is generally acceptable in Investment Banking Division (IBD) roles, including at bulge bracket (BB) firms. Office culture in IBD tends to prioritize professionalism and a polished appearance over specific hairstyles. As long as your buzz cut is neat and well-maintained, it should not be an issue.
One user on WSO mentioned that as an intern, it's important to be remembered for your skills rather than your appearance. If you're concerned about making a good impression, pairing your buzz cut with a professional outfit (e.g., a tie and well-fitted suit) can help ensure you look sharp and presentable.
Ultimately, confidence and professionalism matter more than the specific style of your hair. If the buzz cut feels right for you, go for it!
Goto a barber and ask for a professional/office haircut.
buzzcut is a flex as u can show ur non-receding hairline and lack of a bald spot. lettuce is for dudes going bald
buzzcut also does well with the huzz if you have good skull shape and hairline/hair density (ex: drew starkey)
