I will be a SA in IB next summer and was wondering if riding an electric skateboard/onewheel to work could hurt my prospects of a return offer. My commute is a solid 30 mins via public transport, but could be cut down to 10 mins. Does anyone know of anyone who regularly rides an electric vehicle to work?
Thanks

Yea I ride one all the time and the office loves that shit
I doubt it, don't see why it would.
You could also ride a bike, it'd prob be safer and maybe faster.
Brah, unless you're ripping around the office with it and bowling over MDs, seriously doubt it'll impact a return offer. It'll probably be viewed as a little quirky though. Why not an electric scooter / bike? Think those are a little more pedestrian looking and aren't they easier to lock / transport?
Maybe don’t be super obvious about it when you walk in so you aren’t “the skateboard guy” (get a bag).
Cue Steve buscemi’s “How do you do, fellow analysts?”
hahaha
Thanks guys. Good to know I won't be the only one.
Are you in NYC? These (+ those electric scooters) are exceptionally dangerous in traffic, I have a friend who is an emergency department nurse and she said both the sheer number and severity of injuries from these are insane.
Won't hurt your return offer but just something to consider
FWIW in NY tons of people take citi bikes to work every day. The memberships are cheap and there's stations all over, might be an idea if you don't want to deal with carrying/charging/locking your own transport
