No tie unless client site. I found London to be a touch more casual than New York. But no brown dress shoes. Get a nice fancy rain jacket too.

I never wear black with blue. Cordovan polished dark. The no brown in town thing is played out.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?
