nah, if I was I would've stopped

Wearing a suit in Manhattan on a weekday is like wearing a pair of shorts to the beach.

My fiancee has people that work for her out in SF so she travels out there a few times a year. She said the difference in attitude and culture is like night and day. Much more laid back on the west coast, and coming home to the New York office is like walking into a counting house from the movies. Very conservative, and lots of black clothing.

It's just a different work culture man. I'm not saying one is better than the other at all, the east coast (meaning NYC) is just known for being a lot more rigidly conservative. I bet I have a shitload more black in my wardrobe than you do

I'd love to work in a more laid back environment, I don't think 'being professional' adds anything to the effort put in. Blame all the uptight bankers here.

i have clients i meet nearly everyday. we have to wear a suit/tie combo.

i've seen a director query why the top button of a colleagues shirt was undone whilst on client site

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.

It makes sense if you are seeing clients everyday. If I have meetings or people from the parent company or even sometimes executives are in town, I wear a suit. There's no point to me wearing one everyday though.

considering california is full of hippies that go to work wearing shorts and open toed sandles do they earn generally less than the east coast?
