Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Yeah engineers are more relaxed than say someone in finance or marketing. But still as long as it's groomed neatly I see no problem with a beard.

Neckbeards make me think of cats who just spend all day playing League of Legends

I'm a fan of facial hair but can't grow I beard, I tried and I failed miserably. I stick to a goatee now as I don't want to look like I'm 19 if I go all baby face clean shaven.
 
No matter the industry it really depends on the culture at the firm. I recently broke into asset management and the director of my department has full beard that's hardly groomed, but management really emphasizes fostering a laid back environment at the firm.
how did you break into AM? what were you doing before that?

Not having a pocket square and tie with my suits makes me feel uncomfortable as hell. I'm 24

Boutique AM firm? or a AM division of a larger firm?

I tend to agree with you on this. Cause my friends work in boutique AM firms which are much more laid back then my other friends who are in AM divisions of IB's or larger banks which are MUCH more rigid about their appearance.
Yea boutique firm in the East Bay so location has something to do with it and we're also pretty involved in SRI so it's even more laid back.  I showed up to my first interview in a suit and one of the guys interviewing me laughed and said I looked sharp but that I'd straight up scare clients away if they saw me like that in the office.
