Think it really depends on your standing within the firm. If you're a rain maker, I'd do the transplant and WFH / wear a hat ZFG. Assuming you're not...
Ideally, you could do it between jobs during garden leave.
An alternative would be to take vacation for the surgery and wear a light hairpiece during the healing / scabbing time. Then gradually lose the hairpiece once your hair starts to regrow. I honestly don't think anyone will really care or remember after a year, everyone is too busy with their own life. Your wearing a hairpiece, is not a big deal. If your hairline is so bad, that you need a hair transplant in your 20s/30s, I think most people will understand.
The only real consideration I'd have would be your standing with your MD / who you report into, and what they'll think.
Take a week off using vacation. Then say you are sick at WFH following week. Thats what I did. Firm was relaxed with having zoom camera on vs off so made it easier. Short hair obviously makes this easier. If you have longer hair. Maybe shorten it up for a couple months prior to surgery so people are used to the look. No one in my life knows I had the surgery other than barbers who can easily tell.
Did you go to Turkey?
.
Go to Turkey and do a 7-10 day vacation including your procedure. Istanbul and Bodrum are great places to visit.
Are you on finasteride?
No good way to do it in IB. Losing your hair from work induced stress is just part of the job. Good luck! #NorwoodGang
Shave your head and grow a beard. You don't need a hair transplant any more than girls need filler.
