It’s a real beard, those are fine. I’d just trim it and make it look kempt

Beards are so 2021.

I have a beard, people seem to like it

I get your point, but I think it could only hurt you. Try growing it out once you start?

I grew a beard during covid and no one has said anything, still got promoted

In 2009 when I started no one had beards but they are fine now. I’ve started wearing jeans too.
