Men in Finance: Sweep hair left or right? Haircut?
Noticing many of the summer analysts in my firm parting their hair to the left side and barely anyone spikes their hair.

Back Street's Back, ALRIGHT!
Do what looks best for you. As long as your hair well groomed and clean-cut for clients, the rest does not matter. Look smart.
I usually part on my left and pull to my right. I think generally that’s been more traditional for men but really it just matters where your cowlick is/what’s more comfortable. Just look clean to either side is fine I think.
My dad found a study that women found men with hair swept to the left to be less attractive (and even perceived as weird) than with hair swept to the right. He told me when I was 12, been paranoid since
Just brush it back and let it do it’s thing.
Lose it all to stress and not worry about your hair
Everyone has a natural part. Some go left and some go right. Brushing your hair in the same direction as your natural part creates a more classic look while brushing your hair against your look creates more volume. Depends on the look.

Weird flex but ok. Jokes aside, insightful comment!
A fresh Fade is absolutely necessary
Any thoughts on clipper haircuts?
Not gangster-like skin short, speaking of a decent length like 1-2 cm. At the end of the day there’s quite a few bald people around, so I think a good clipper haircut is still alright.
I usually do a pretty shirt fade (not skin) and finger length on the top. My hair is stupid thick so it bothers me if it gets long. As long as it’s professional no one cares.
