If I wear too fashionable for a presentation (I’m a guy and want to wear black tie and nice pants), will my client feel threatened?

No client will ever be threatened by you, if anything they will laugh at you for dressing like you’re attending a funeral

Is it a black... bow tie?

Don't dress up more than your case/study/project sponsor.

Black necktie/bow tie = evening formalwear.

It would be out of place in an office/business setting. Look at what F100 CEOs wear for TV interviews, high level political figures wear for formal presentations, GQ models wear when dressed in a suit. You won’t see a black tie.

Dress inline with your coworkers or like your client. I remember one time I had to change and dress different for my first meeting at a new client because people on previous projects were asked to dress more like the client.

I don’t think anyone cares that much. And men never notice what the other dudes are wearing. Unless you’re wearing something that makes you really stand out for no apparent reason. Don’t wear a bow tie to the event. Or something overly different from the rest of the group. Why do you want to do that? Unless you want to stand out as the well dressed guy? Or the person that didn’t have a clue? Take the tie with you and dress it up or tone it down after you take a look at the room.

Agreed.

I left a great team and high-visibility, high impact project with a client that loved me for a few more $$.

Had I stayed, I would have been festering on comp and constantly worried about my financial future.
Since I've left, I feel financially secure but listless and bored with a lame team on what I've discovered is a skeezy upsell.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Did you boomerang back?

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool.

I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

I love working from home, it’s my jam, love getting stuff done. But I’m on a really overdue drawn out messy initial audit for a smaller client,nice as can be, and it’s murdering my productivity.
