Intern: Shave or don't shave my mustache
Hi, I'm starting a finance internship this Monday. I was hoping that I could your opinions, Is it looked down upon or bad to have a mustache as an intern. Without a mustache which is trim and formal, I would look like a teenager. Let me know, I'm not trying to make a bad first impression!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights regarding facial hair for interns in finance:
Professional Appearance: It's crucial to maintain a professional appearance. While a clean-shaven look is often recommended, a well-groomed mustache can be acceptable if it looks neat and formal.
Perception: You mentioned that without a mustache, you look like a teenager. In finance, looking mature and professional can be beneficial. If your mustache helps you achieve that look, it might be worth keeping it, provided it is well-maintained.
Consistency: Ensure that your facial hair is consistently trimmed and looks intentional. Avoid any styles that might be seen as too casual or unkempt.
Feedback from Peers: Since you have been networking with individuals at various levels and have received positive feedback, it might be helpful to ask for their opinions directly. They can provide insights specific to the culture of the firm you are joining.
In summary, a well-groomed mustache that enhances your professional appearance should be fine, but always prioritize looking neat and polished.
