What perfume do you wear?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what king of perfume people are wearing in IB? During several internships, I can't remember people smelling especially good or wearing perfume.

Is it something which is avoided before a certain level (VP, MD) ?

Nothing or nothing strong. Wearing any sort of strong fragrance in an office enviroment is saved for people who make millions of dollars or are huge douche bags.

Isn't it in like very etiquette book for interviews and the work place?

To summarize, everyone wears deodorant and showers as often as they are allowed home. Only douchebags and MDs wear scents.

i don't know about for a girl but for a guy you want something subtle.... 1 SPRAY folks of :

  1. Burberry Brit
  2. Burberry Summer
  3. Versace Blue Jeans

These are safe bets, but there are others.

 
PnLWhat types of underwear do people in IB wear? If i were to order a sandwich at lunch, would turkey be appropriate? How do bankers view ham as an alternative? What types of soft drinks do people drink? Do MDs allow softdrinks?

It was just a question, if it was so silly, why did you take time to write something?

Another question: Why douchebags like you are looking down on other?

Whatever you do, do not order a sandwich or soft drink more expensive than what any of your superiors at the vicinity order.

 

There are a couple of key areas called “pulse points” that a man should while applying Generally speaking, your chest, mainly around the base of your throat, is the best place to apply fragrance.

 

Struggling to decide what kind of perfume to splurge on next? Take our little quiz to see if you can narrow it down to fragrance family—citrus, woodsy, floral, or oriental.

Speaking if sweateners, I once used two packs of pink Splenda in my coffee while on an informational interview at Starbucks. The analyst picked up three blue packs, she was a girl btw.

Should I have asserted my masculinity by going back for a third blue packet? The informational interview went okay.
