Waves in IB?
Hey all, incoming SA at a BB this summer.
I was wondering if having waves would be perceived badly by some in my group. Obviously, I would never wear a durag to the office or anything like that (brushing hair at work etc.) but I like the hairstyle.
I would appreciate any insight you all are willing to provide.
I sincerely doubt anyone would care. Might get some borderline racist/weird comments from boomers but I don’t think it would be an issue.
Had a VP who used to brush during work. This site hypes a lot of things up, but no one really gives a shit about what you do, wear, or look like as long as its not egregious and your work product is up to par.
I had the same concern before my FT start date. I kept the waves and I'm so happy I did. No one cares what your hair looks like as long as it's presentable and the rest of your clothes are appropriate (suit, slacks, tie, etc.)
why tf would anyone fear the drip?
Hate is temporary, drip is forever
legit lol'ed at this one. Nice one
Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. Those racist boomers are too scared of HR / getting cancelled to make a big deal out of something like that anyways.
Also a surprising number of older folks at BBs are pretty conscious of things like this - wouldn't go in thinking every MD you encounter is going to be stereotypically racist.
I didn’t mean like overtly racist shit. They’re not gonna call you cornpop but non-black people tend to be weird around black people with non-straightened hair. It’s not malicious in intent but can lead to some weird/mildly uncomfortable interactions.
Ye that's what I mean. Would bet you probably won't get those kinds of interactions in today's hypersensitive environment + a lot of senior people are more aware of those dynamics than you might think.
Don’t worry about you should be fine. Very rare that someone would come up to you and comment on your waves. I was worried too when starting out. Had waves and a decent length beard. No one has ever said anything about it.
