Hello,
I'm starting a new job in an investment bank as a quantitative developer. The first day I wore a suit and realized that I was the only one doing so. What should I do? Take off the suit from day two? What would you do?
thanks

In technology, you will not find many locations, firms, what-have-you wear the suit/tie look you wear. I would go for the neat, clean, dress pants/good shirt (EXPRESS of the sorts) and good comfortable business shoes to wear.
Then again, look at your surroundings and see what they're wearing. You should be fine though.
I'd personally do exactly what you did on day one, then wear something as formal as what they're wearing from then on. I mean if you really like wearing suits then do what you want, but you absolutely don't have to from the sounds of it.
Thanks guys. That is helpful!
Always wear a suit on the first day, it's tradition!
