Pretty much exactly what the title says. Really looking to increase my overall aura (not strictly in a banking sense) and was wondering what ways you guys have increased your aura while at the desk?

The opposite of what you posted
I'd start by never using that term again. And I can't see what you look like, but I'm pretty sure you need to change your haircut.
Gonna steal that
Omg this! 😂
Sounds like someone has negative aura
Agree to this 😂
I’m pretty sure that he/she is a dei hire
be jacked + tan whilst everyone else in the office is fat and pale
how do you tan?
I know how one tans but I mean where do you do it haha
And all you have to do is listen to worldnewswithbk
btw ignore above comments, they only come from negative aura scrubs
Mew at the MD to establish dominance
You triggered the boomers in this thread brah. They know you'll mog them once you aura farm.
you gotta start off by clip farming, they're always watching
Goon at your desk during a client call, will show you’re an alpha
Prescription:
Looksmax and mog at your desk ahead of turning comments; casually rizz up any gyatts in the vicinity in the interim. Bump brr brr patapim phonk through max-volume earphones so the whole floor catches the vibe.

Damn I am getting old 😂
👆these are our future MDs, guys
This is clearly a shitpost but unironically the answer is to get ripped and wear higher quality tailoring. It’s a flex to not look like one of the malnourished orphans from Annie in lululemon dress pants.
I wear lulus because I want everyone to know I give just enough fucks to be reasonable, not an iota more
tanned / polished / athletic / well-fitted suits and stylish (no sneakers/vests/brown belts or shoes) / eye contact / speak confidently / be assertive / outside working hours do as many outdoor activities and events so you can interesting small talks / be social / classic haircut / don't smoke or vape / always be up to date with news / don't creep women / don't gossip and know when to retreat graciously from those situations / do impeccable work / speak eloquently and train to speak concisely / avoid toxic colleagues / never show signs of stress/pressure / be proactive / always do your work with a smile and enthusiasm no matter how much you're getting crushed
it's basic but few sustain this level over 2 years
This is all great advice.
Will say train to speak concisely takes awhile to develop and varies at companies. I'm a fast talker so I've learned to slow it down during calls but it can be challenging at my current role. Some of the seniors (partners) talk super fast and want me to get to the point ASAP while I slow things down and take my time to explain my thought processes to my direct superior (pseudo manager) who likes to go more granular in our meetings. It's honestly been a challenge to figure out the communication styles of the seniors on my team as they seem to have their quirks.
This.
Do you have some pointers regarding the clothing and fashion piece? Our office is not big on suits anymore, thus people tend to wear shirts + business sneakers.
Also, why no brown belts or shoes?
because I'm European and I do have an a sense of style
can't comment on ur style, the most casual I ever dressed in an office is in penny loafers like those from below with some beige pants and blue shirt, and I do match it with a suede brown belt as well (shoes and belt always to match texture and color. not sure if this is too much for an american office, so exercise judgement. I work in more formal offices.
Aura farming is just a weird name for presence and that involves confidence which is a result of having competence. There really isn't a shortcut for that stuff, but if you want to stand out in most rooms do the following:
If you do all of that you'll stand out in any room, but this doesn't happen overnight. It has to be who you are otherwise you look like some lame who is faking it.

Have a crisp tan, show you don’t turn comments. Instead chill with your blonde girlfriend and go to Nantucket
good tan is a must
U go man
