Summer Analyst Overdressing Concern
Incoming summer analyst at a NYC BB IBD and hope to get some insights on the dress code.
Let's say if my team leans towards more casual outfits, are full suits (dress shirt and blazer, no tie) still the way to go, or is that too formal?
Also, if vests are commonly worn by my analysts and associates, is it cool if I wear one too instead of a blazer?
Thanks guys!
jacket is fine, but it's gonna be hot as fuck in the summer keep that in mind
Suit on first day and conform to team attire afterwards. I wouldn't personally wear a vest but that's up to you.
Agreed, conform to the team, but you should still be the most “formal” out of the rest of the team
Generally, I'd add that it's better to be overdressed to an extent (and take off a jacket or something) than underdressed and be unable to change that once you turn up. With weather in mind if you still want to wear a blazer for a day or two to test the waters, I'd say definitely pick up something like perspirex, honestly a life changer. Congrats and the offer and good luck
The best rule of thumb is to gradually transition into how most of your office dress. This could mean week one is a full suit no tie, week 2is a dress shirt and pants, week 3 is dress shirt and more casual pants, week 4 maybe rock a polo if they are common with the team. Then once you get to the point where you as an intern are slightly more formal than the analyst and associates you stop and just stay there
OP here. These are some really helpful tips. Thank you guys!
Try to fit in and be the nicest dressed in the room, simultaneously.
