It's over 100 degrees this week and I am suffering and sweating in pants. Is it okay for a guy to wear shorts to the office? Will I look like a total fool?

Shorts are never office attire unless listed as acceptable in your company handbook. I’m sure it’s not.

Wouldn’t it be better to look at your company’s policy guide and see what that says? I would go by what the rules are over what a bunch of people on the internet say.

You should check with the agent, it's probably different at every office

You’re good. You should see some of the guys in our office. Short jeans shorts. It’s super cringey. I think if you did a nice pair of dress shorts, you’d be fine. You don’t need to suffer.

Sounds really professional...

Wow, all of you who seems so bothered by this I would hate to work in your offices. How can you be productive when you’re hot and miserable? Shorts can be worn with style and class. I’m sure he’s not saying he’s going to show up in basketball shorts. 🙄

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
