What does the use of Microsoft Teams have to do with shaving? If you’re implying it is a VC and what should you do with respect to beard - you do what you’re comfortable - if it is a well groomed beard you should be okay!!

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for.

My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
