I’ve been pulled into really big client meetings looking like a scrub and had it be fine. It definitely just depends, but sometimes they want their creatives to look like creatives.

Just be yourself. Every brand culture is different. I’ve had to wear a suit and also had another client say she liked her creatives to look “heroin chic”. 🧟‍♂️

Rando grooming story: I had an very senior-level client at a prezo for Gillette comment multiple times on my scruff. He left mid-meeting and walked back into the room and handed me the razor we were marketing. A good minute of awkward silence and uncomfortable laughter. I had zero back-up from my CD or account team but I was able make him feel pretty small with a few choice words.

Black / dark jeans, some kind of boot / nicer shoe, a shirt that isn’t a tshirt / hoodie / sweatshirt.

Basically I just step up each piece about 20% in quality and that is comfortable enough for me to be myself and not feel “trying too hard” but still showing some respect.

Ask your CD. I’ve had clients that I had to wear button ups and slacks around, and clients that saw me in my all-black V-neck, jeans and sneaker uniform.

All black

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
