I got the Paul Wall look in Interviews. Is this an issue?
My grill cost over $30K and I am proud to show it. Do bankers not like grills in front of clients? Been getting some hate lately on my grill in interviews.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, presenting yourself in a professional manner is crucial in banking interviews and client meetings. While personal expression is important, the finance industry, especially investment banking, tends to have conservative standards regarding appearance. A $30K grill, though a significant personal investment and a statement piece, might not align with the traditional professional image expected in client-facing roles or interviews. It's not about the value of the grill or the personal pride it brings but rather about adhering to industry norms to maximize your chances of success. Bankers often prefer a more conventional look when dealing with clients to maintain a certain level of professionalism and to ensure that the focus remains on the work and expertise being presented.

What’s the point of this post
People wear piercings to interviews, especially girls. Are Grillz acceptable in modern day times? What if you're a top earner?
Hm maybe not ideal to wear into interview rooms
You have a grill? Might as well complete the look with an iced out pendant a la Lil John.
After my Patek dropped nearly $200K in value, I thought a grill would make up the difference.
I have to say, what were you thinking? Think about your audience, buddy. do these look like the kind of people who would appreciate something like a grill? When trying to get the job, you want to be a salmon amongst the school of salmon. Just the most perfect specimen of salmon. Might seem like a silly analogy, but it’s effective. 
Nah this look is fire.
Stay grippin’ wood and blowin’ pine.
fr fr you gotta stay in with the times...
the grill will surely earn you some brownie points with Evercore's newest MD!!! Gotta keep it
