I am starting at PWC next month (coming from a small local cpa firm in Texas) what suits should I get for the days in the office? Is there a difference between office suit and a suit I would wear when the client comes in? If it matters, I am joining AWM tax which I know has prestigious hedge funds and private equity firms.

Texas? Blue leisure suit, white cowboy hat. No exceptions.

No one wears suits. Button up and slacks will do ya and you can snaz things up with a dashing sport coat.

Wear something comfortable, you won’t be leaving until 18 hours after you sit down.

Closest thing to a suit I would expect in the office is the Canadian tuxedo

I’m guessing you interviewed with an AWM partner wearing a suit. There’s one in my office who does that and he is ridiculous. I think it makes him feel more important. No one else will be wearing a suit.

Dude overalls are so convenient. Complete freedom of movement. Lots of pockets. Maybe the best designed apparel out there.

Don’t wear a suit buddy it’s not that serious

Thank you!

FWIW - AWM tax is a grind with a lot of hours. A lot of turnover. Keep your head up for other internal opportunities in case the workload is too much.

What PwC office in Texas?

Who wears that these days?

Small firm to big firm. Let me know how that goes for you.

In the PwC office 99% of people wear jeans. At least in Houston.
