Email Signature
What’s your typical email signature? Do you include your full email signature in every email?
Usually I do full signature in new emails - but on replies I do no signature at all.

In every company I have worked at so far, the signature was a relatively strict requirement from the team I was in. There wasn't much leeway in how I could change it. quotes or political statements were not allowed, same for any logos except for the ones given to us. PR was very much on top of this.
i can choose to add my signature. I do the same thing, on all new email add signature. On replies nope.
Might be signaling LC here but I never got why people reply with no signature - looks informal to me. What’s your reasoning?
Just do whatever the company standard is. Surely you have more important things to think about than email signature formats.

Not in banking and much more "wild wild west," but I personally add my signature on every email, mostly because whenever I'm trying to find someone's phone number from their signature and they don't put their signature in most emails it's a huge pain.
That’s a practical strategy! Including a full signature in new emails maintains professionalism, while skipping it in replies helps keep conversations concise. In finance, an accountant email signature can feature credentials, compliance disclaimers, and contact details for a refined appearance.

The full name with designation or first name. I want people to know I am a CFA charterholder but I want to sound friendly by signing with my first name.
That’s a common approach! A full signature in new emails keeps things professional, while omitting it in replies keeps the thread clean. For those in finance, an accountant email signature can include credentials, compliance disclaimers, and contact details for a polished look.
For my job, I just copied the email signature format of the lead partner on my team.
Personal email, I don't have a signature. But I will change it and make it look professional when I'm reaching out to more senior people for networking (which is rare lol, 90%+ of them never respond).
