Thinking about getting a nose job. However, I am currently an analyst at a BB and am kinda worried about the reaction of my colleagues. I can handle the jokes and laughter, but I don‘t want to lose the respect of the people I work with over this. How bad of an idea is this?

Well I suppose you need to weigh up the likely responses from your colleagues and whether you have an effective way of downplaying it or making the initial phase pass so it becomes the new normal quickly. I would probably be proactive and tell people you are having it done so that it isn't such a big deal.
That vs the continuing embarrassment of looking like voldemort.
If you really want to go ahead with it, then just say:
"I was in a fight, you should see the other guy!"
In all honesty, it is up to you what you want to do with your body. But people may or may not have their opinions, which they can't publicly voice at the office anyway. All I can say is rhinoplasty can be very painful. Depending on the change you are planning, many won't even notice that much.
I've had a nose job and it wasn't painful. Mostly uncomfortable though since they put the packing in your nose for the first 1-2 days
Nobody will even notice and if they do, they won't ask. Say you had a deviated septum or something like that.
A friend of the family got one for her 18th birthday. Did it make her prettier? Yes, didn´t help her neurotic personality though.
This post is a well-articulated social commentary, whether intentional or not.
Her Facebook feed is not a well-articulated social commentary, unintentional tho lmao. Love that girl, she taught me how to hold my dick right, but she is hella nuts, bro.
Big nose = the snow goes up the hoes nostrils easier
Yeah, you´d know about schnozzes, wouldn´tcha?
.
Friend of mine got one over a summer when people were away from uni. Literally no one noticed but when she was drunk she told some people and no one really cared. I suppose if you have a hog of a nose it would be noticeable after the surgery, but I can't imagine anyone judging you for it.
Just say you had breathing problems?
This. It's probably a lie, everyone knows you're lying, you know they know you're lying, etc., but no one really cares and it just means you don't want to talk about it
Seems like every big nosed jewish bitch with cash has a deviated septum
Say you played hockey growing up and had a couple broken noses and finally thought now was the time to get it fixed. Don't think anyone would really care that much though.
just say you're getting a deviated septum fixed but honestly as long as you go to a good surgeon who does natural looking ones no one would notice
There's a lot of jews in banking. They likely had a family member or close friend get one(its practically a sweet 16 tradition in scarsdale). No one will care.
big yikes
They really badly need it tho
PUH
DANGEROUS TIMES TO MAKE SUCH JOKES
.
From the comments people seem to think this is just a roast/joke, but it's actually pretty true. I know a lot of jewish girls who got a nosejob the summer before their freshman year of college
If you are insecure about yourself go for it. If you have the resources to go with a very good doctor you will have less pain and less recovery time. Just say: I couldn't breathe, had to remove bones (or what it is called) in my nose.
Isn’t WFH the perfect time to get one done?
I took a week off to get plastic surgery during my summer internship (still converted lol)
You converted more than just your internship that summer...
I think the word you're looking for is... transitioned
How common are nose jobs? Men and woman?
are these posts mainly from men or woman here
mostly women. this is womenstreetoasis.com after all.
DOESNT MATTER I COMMENT ON EVERYTHING
(SEE MY -5-COMMENT-SCORE-COMMENT ON THE HAIRPRODUCTS FOR FEMALE BANKERS THREAD)
In the Maslow hierarchy of superficiality, would rate boob job as more core with respect to future earnings accretion - would do that, then the nose job.
If there is every a time to do it, it would be during covid when you don't have to go to the office and/or can hide under a mask with plausible deniability
A girl I worked with got a nose job
Covid is probably the best time ever to get something like this done....just a thought.
This. Assuming you are WFH, if you want to get work done, do it now. Does your firm require that you turn your camera on during video conferences?
Also, I know people who got work done in the before times and no one in the office really noticed. Bankers are pretty good about being too self-absorbed to notice what you've done.
just say that you fell and hit your nose...nobody will know you got a "nose job"....Particularly during WFH
however, breast implants would probably be a much better use of that money
it's all good. do whatever is best for you. nobody is gonna shame you for looking better.
This is not a joke, but when I was at GS many years ago, we had a VP who got a toe shortening surgery. Had never even known that was a thing.
Who measures toe length???
How on earth did you find out?
She told people
Just use the Rachel from Friends excuse. You had a deviated septum.
Yup, "deviated septum" is the medical excuse for a nose job. I've know a handful of people to do this. Some really had a deviated septum and got the benefits of a nose job also, others just wanted the nose job. Start laying the foundation now, complain about your breathing problems, toss in that you've always had issues with a deviated septum. Then make a big deal about how you're going to the doctor, you need surgery to get it repaired, what an ordeal this will be. Totally worth it though. You know. For vanity and all.
Except that septoplasties don’t result in outward changes unless your nose was straight L-shaped before. I got one (along with sinus surgery) myself and my nose looks exactly the same. You have to tack on cosmetic work and pay for it separately. People just use ‘deviated septum’ as an excuse because they don’t want to admit that they got cosmetic surgery for whatever reason. If you get it and look better then great for you but you shouldn’t be ashamed to own it
Say you’re going for The Weeknd’s look, everybody’s doing it
Excellent screen name. That's the post.
I did it as a 30 year old male in private equity. Broke it as a teenager playing sports and never fixed it until later in life. Few people noticed, nobody seemed to care. I’m very happy with it, wish I had done it sooner.
If you want it done, go for it.
Only a few noticed? Doesn't it cause crazy bruising
Do it while you can still wear a mask. Nobody will remember what your nose looked like.
Are u even in the office?
Knew a guy that got a rather extensive hair transplant in his early 20s. dude had been balding aggressively since Jr. HS.
If you're not familiar with those, they are/can be extremely visible the first months post-op. There's just no way of hiding, and they look much worse before they get better.
But, noone gave him any shit for it. Guy was very open and direct about it, and basically just said that this was something he had wanted to do for a long time. If anything, some were even supportive. I think the outcome (whether or not people will bust your balls) depends on your own attitude.
If you want to change something in your appearance, you do not need to pay attention to the opinion of others.
Collegue of mine in his twenties had hair implants, and it looked kinda weird in the beginning before it started to grow out or whatever.
Nobody gave a shit or gave him a hard time, mostly people where interested in the process, especially the borderline balding ones.
Girls get boob jobs all the time and nobody says anything. You’re fine.
Easy solution - just get a (very noticeable) boob job in addition to the nose job.
It'll (a) distract attention from your new nose and (b) nobody will make comments about it, unless HR is super chill about employees making overt comments to their subordinates on the size of their new jugs
