None. A lack of confidence is a huge deal breaker though.

Already in a relationship with him? Not a deal breaker.

Shaved it all off? Not a deal breaker.

Balding but still in denial? Swiping left on Tinder...sorry.

You can pull off bald if you are in shape and confident. Unfortunately countless studies show that balding does negatively affect men in both dating and career progression.
Start taking steps to mitigate and start lifting.

I don't think it's a deal breaker- it's just hair and now they can do hair implants or whatever...

Agree 100% with BA.

Full head of hair here 🙋‍♂️

Male baldness runs in my family. I plan on shaving it all off. Bald is ok, balding is somewhat emasculating. :/

Not a big deal... just shave it off.

Always had a receding hairline, now effectively bald. Don't like the fully shaved look, but a "1" all the way around is a good look. As others say, confidence is key. "What, I'm bald? Huh, never noticed. Now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, let's get out of here." Exit, Uber Lux, loft, gin cocktail, Egyptian cotton, breakfast.

The fact that you are asking this question shows that you are sensitive to public opinion or perception which could be a deal breaker.

I really like a bald head actually. Or shaved. Confidence goes a really long way. It helps to accept that you're going bald and just shave it all down IMO. 💁🏾

If you have the personality to compensate for it - not a deal breaker, if you can pull shaving it off - no effect at all.

Not at all

Have new car prices increased as much as used? Estimated market value of my car has increased by over $10k, so I’m considering selling it to upgrade. But if new prices have gone up as much, then it’s a wash and there’s no compelling financial reason to upgrade now.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
