I'm an M&A Consultant, I've traveled the U.S. extensively over past 10 years for deals, and I've never experienced an issue due to my wearing a Kippah, delivering kosher food to outside restaurants, nor taking off work (and leaving early) for shabbat/holidays during crunch time.
Make a kiddush Hashem and wear that kippah proudly. 👍

Same, never any issues in 8 years. I actually think it helps make me more memorable/stand out in a crowd, which has helped me advance in my career.

I've never gotten any comments other than one question about how it stays on. If I got negative comments, I'd report it to my erg and hr.
