Oxfords (or similar) polite, inoffensive, quiet shoes. Sometimes standing out is a good thing. As a SA or entry level role, they want you to toe the line. Lloyd Blankfein gets to wear a $10 timex, you need to keep up with the Jonses. I got to start being loud with a handful of letters after my name, and more experience in my specific role than basically anybody else at my $1T asset manager.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
