Should I ask HR where I can buy company's fleece vest?
I just accepted a summer analyst role at a BB. It is a huge accomplishment for me, especially because I have a condition that has been very limiting in the past. I always see wall street bankers wearing those fleece vests and I want one as well. Would it be a bad idea to ask HR where to purchase one? I have looked everywhere and cannot find one under $150 online. I know it's cringe but the jacket has a huge symbolic meaning to me.
Update: I am going to try ironing on the company logo to a plain cotton vest until I get company merch.
Send an email to the entire team you'll be joining directly ahead of your start date. Introduce yourself and request the "bank fleece order form" - this is fairly standard and they will appreciate the initiative.
I can't tell if you are trolling or are serious here.
He's not I did this my SA as well.
You will get some merch at training, but that's really cringe to ask about the vest. $150 online is worth sparing yourself embarrassment if you absolutely must have it
Why would you brag you're doing IB? You're basically a well-paid, tired slave to the bank
Didn’t realize getting shipped across the Atlantic used to be the most competitive post-college job in 1800s Africa
Do yourself a HUGE favor and hold off on that until you’ve at least secured a full time offer. You’ll thank me later. If they offer you one great if not, don’t worry about it. Had a friend do this back in the college days and he was roasted the entire internship by the analysts (who were older friends of ours but still).
Dude I did this you 100% should do it. I was a fund management intern at Carlyle and once I got my fleece it changed everything. I ended up securing a real estate analyst gig and even those it’s not the most prestigious it’s still front office. The vest helped me harness the energy to land a fo role. Send the email now or forever be a back office cuck.
Really ? Paying to wear marketing products ? Please tell me this is a troll 3
A WSO fleece vest is the ultimate monkey item to have.
They really should give one out for 50k banana points like you have.
Actually let's set the cutoff at 25k
Would definitely buy
I think you can buy one from patagucci.com
imagine my disappointment
Highly recommend waiting until you secure a FT offer. There were some people I know who were thinking about buying merch but didn't get a FT return, and the internship ended up being a really awkward and embarrassing memory for them. They definitely wouldn't have wanted an expensive vest sitting around the house to remind them what happened. Hopefully, you'll get a return though!
WSO fleece vests to all with 10k banana points
