First day at a new biglaw firm in NYC. What do I wear?

I worked in Biglaw in NYC for over 20 years and the only times you saw associates wearing a suit was for court, client meetings, or they were interviewing somewhere. And it’s gotten even more casual since the pandemic.

I see it pretty consistently on first days and my firm is not very dressed up - a lot of people regularly wear jeans. I think it’s just a “thing”

Suit, common sense! Smile a lot and tell them you’re grateful to be there! They will eat it up

This. My go to line is still “I’m just happy to be here.” It’s true, BigLaw has made me smarter, stronger, and given my family an amazing life. Good luck!

Many firms are business casual but I always go with a suit on my first day in case the firm/practice group still does suits.

Working on buying a home. Got great rates with a lender. While signing, noticed that I was marked as a Permanent Resident Alien. I'm on H1B.

If I tell my lender that I'm a non-Permanent Resident Alien, would there be any issues vis a vis rates? or actual approval?

I have 3 more years left on my visa and I have very good credit history over the past 6 years
