You shouldn’t have to.

Unfortunately, depending on where you’re interviewing, it may very well impact your chances. Up to you if you want to interview as your authentic self or what will optimize your likelihood

Do you have a job? Is this job a game changer? Probably not.

If they won’t accept you because of your hair, they don’t deserve you and can go extinct like all dinosaurs.

I think the bigger question is, do you want to work in an environment where you feel like you’d need to do that to be taken seriously?

Really good thought lol you're right

Cut it. You will be less self conscious during the interview and you can always grow it back

You really need to think hard about this.

A lot of people on here focus on self image,titles, ladder climbing and total capital. Practical advice is to stay the way you are and find a work environment you're comfortable in.

This isnt a semester of school its probably 2,5 or 10 years of your life.

No

OP, you should, we had a town all and one of the practice didn't shave or cut his hair in a long time and well looks like those homeless bums begging at the highway exits

Man I gave you the reasonable answer a couple weeks ago but lets change perspective.. "If Im a middle aged white guy, can I have a mullet and get a job offer? "

Only in:
Kansas
Tennessee
North carolina
Florida definitely
Maybe ATL

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
