Graduating with my PhD and landed an AC role - is a Submariner too much for a “entry” level hire? Don’t want to give off wrong impression to team

You just finished a PhD. Hell of an accomplishment get whatever watch you want. Maybe wear a cheaper beater though depending on client etc. congrats!

Yeah I think Apple Watch most days during week is best play, thanks 👍🏻

Shouldn’t be a problem for your team. As always, independently of level, be mindful of the client and the type of work you perform there (don’t show up with a very recognizable, expensive watch if doing cost-cutting or restructuring) but otherwise you’re allowed to spend you money however you like and wear a nice watch. A Submariner works in almost any context, we’re not talking yellow gold and diamonds. Congrats on the PhD and new job !

Thanks, and yeah have worn a friends on a nato so definitely trying to keep as low key as possible for a Submariner

The important consideration is client optics, more so than the team. Some people may judge the new guy for wearing a Rolex, but that’s nothing like destroying good will when you’re on a cost takeout project (like a lot will be these days) and you’re wearing a $10k watch and working with managers to discuss which of their people need to be let go.

Definitely agreed, appreciate the advice!

I bought a TT Seadweller to celebrate mine. Try not to wear it to inappropriate situation (e.g., cost cutting with a midsize corporate), but most places should be fine.

There will be people who will say something. However I’m one that doesn’t care what others will say / think. Your watch choice represents you and your taste as long as you don’t show it off and as others above have said be mindful at client / cost cutting / take out projects.

Depends on the metal choice.. i would stick to SS or TT or WG. I wouldn’t get YG

Completing a PhD is such a hard earned accomplishment. Totally reasonable to say you got it to celebrate that

Generally speaking no one cares. Just be sensitive to the few specific situations where it can come off poorly. People have covered those above. Don’t wear a $10k watch (or $2k shoes!) to go take heads out of a middle market industrial business.

NEVER

Hi ,
I'm a Marketing student and was recently offered part time internship positiom on the marketing team of really cool FinTech Venture Capital company .During the final interview , I luckily asked for their pay range for interns and almost fell to the ground when he said $30/hr min. I would have said $18/$20 if I hadn't asked him instead .The average student earns between $15-$20 ...so it sounds really good but that's only an opening offer. Should I ask for a higher amount like $35 -$40?
