I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this ... I've been in love with Chinese collar shirts lately, but I'm not sure it'd be very welcome in a work setting. Sort of worried about being called out for wearing an 'office siren outfit' lol. Do any of you wear Chinese collars to work? What can I pair it with to make it look more appropriate for work?

I think it's more than okay to wear this to work. I don't see the problem with it at all actually. Sure, it's got a slightly casual look, but if you're tucking it in a, I think it could look just as professional as normal collared shirts.

I think if you wore a crisp white one it would look fine. But as MD1 says it can give more casual vibes

They are more definitely more casual because you can't wear a tie with them and they often look best untucked. Crisp black or white shirts with this collar will make you look like a server in a restaurant. The guy in the photo gets the look right.

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬
