Hey guys,

I come from a family of farmers and generic low-class people. I've been working in Cali at a fin/tech position and just got a degree from a good school (finance/CS) and want to move to NY to pursue a career in backprop trading.

But I don't know what to wear. I'm not used to dealing with people in high places and I'm worried that I'll come across as gaudy and that my perception of how "wealthy people dress" may wind up being a little much. Should I wear a suit and tie? How much should I shell out? Will they notice if it's cheap? From what I understand, people in the NY financial sector can be as bitchy as politicians when it comes to clothing. I have plenty of dosh to spend on clothes, but I don't want to spend anything I don't need to (OFC it's just fabric that covers my body)

Does anyone who works in "high finance" want to tell me how to dress? How do you dress in your day to day?

People are going to judge you if you don't spend at least a tenth of your salary on your uniform. Pay a twentieth of your salary just to be on the safe side.

What, just something from indochino or brook's brothers? Are those good suits?

My manager is a middle-aged asian man who prefers purple and yellow.

Wouldn't work with my pale skin.

$9000 in suits seems a bit steep when I could be putting that money away...

Shit I'm just meming. Some basic slacks, button up shirt, and a tie are probably enough for the new-guy grad to start with. Add a suit jacket in the interview, and you can determine there whether you gotta keep using it.

not going to lie I kind of hate the idea of dressing up in a suit all day. I get the impression lots of people see the suit and just assume I'm an asshole stock broker or something.

Don't get me wrong, they're right, but it still hurts.

What made you leave the farm?

I have no input for your question since I come from the same generic low-class.
