13428863, The financial industry is the most conformist industry I've ever seen Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Mar-31-21 10:46 AM
I see more variation in lawyers than I do finance people.
Especially as it goes to appearance. Like the brothers I know who work in it have no facial hair, most are tall-ish and dress the same. Even down to the Patagonia vest. It's crazy.

If you aren't prepared for that level of conformity, Its okay, the job might not be right for you.
Just got to be prepared for certain trade offs in you work in certain industries. Maybe you are going to be that one person who breaks all the rules and does it your way, but it doesn't happen often.
