Is a piercing an automatic disqualifier for men?

I have a single, small, silver ring pierced into my upper left ear. Most people don’t notice it. When finance (but more so consulting) firms roll around to campus, they love to play the we’re so progressive/diverse/just like you card but I can’t help but feel like there’s a bit of a conservative good ol’ boys club at the higher levels. Will this affect my job prospects? Be honest.
