Ear Piercings on Males in IB/S&T?
Should I just take off my ear piercings for this summer? Will my MDs think I'm a f*ggot? Has Wall Street become liberal enough for me?

doubt they'll notice on zoom
Depends on what the style is. Studs are fine. Hoops are a big no-no.
No
I'm planning to keep my studs in for this summer since it's virtual. Wouldn't have them on in the office tho.
yea the last kid i met with ear piercings was an obnoxious little "BuSinEsS FrATerNitY" shit who wouldn't let me finish my sentence and can't stop talking about getting wasted during the day
This post just reeks of Jersey
Hey, I'm a fa**ot in AM, and I'm from Jersey, and even I say that not in a million years are any sort of earrings on a male in finance acceptable!!!
I would advise against it
Dont wear them if possible, IB remains a sales business and seniors like remaining traditional (clothes, haircuts...)
not if you want to be taken seriously
I'd avoid it, even virtually. Being on the conservative side, especially as an intern, is definitely safer, and you do not want them to end up saying "he did a pretty good job, but I'm not 100% sure we could put him in front of clients." (That would be extreme in my opinion, but I've heard similar stuff in the past regarding appearance details.)
Get a load of the guy who has piercings and asks if Wall Street is liberal enough for him while saying "f*ggot" lol
In all seriousness, I'd take them off to be safe. You never know if your MDs are super conservative and care about appearance even over Zoom until it's too late.
Plz fix, thx
pierce your nipples instead. you'll be wearing a shirt during virtual meetings right?
Visible nipple piercings under a shirt, offer guaranteed!
no earings
Men should only wear two accessories - a wrist watch and a ring (if you're married)
earrings at a banking job? that’s not it man...
