It means you spend a lot of time trying to look like a trendy and poor artist. But because you are not actually poor you spend a lot of money on your clothes that look like poor clothes.

....it means you're a hipster, don't see how that's hard to understand.

You probably wear slim cut or skinny jeans, have nicely groomed facial hair, use hair products, wear ray bans, flannel shirts, drink cool new micro brews, like undiscovered cocktail@lounges (even if they're packed), over use the word "space" (I.e., I don't want to violate your space with my thoughts but...; I'm pretty new operating in this space), take yoga classes, ride your bike around the city, brunch is the most important meal of your week, you're really into "self reflection" and finding yourself, you're a hippy with money in nice clothes, Coachella is the best weekend ever for you!!!

I'll define hipster (in the mainstream context) by defining the opposite. The opposite is someone who dresses like their dad (baggy clothing), listens to terrible music but likes it if it's "catchy", refuses to try different foods/drinks out of fear that someone might think they are an outsider, and generally shits on hipsters to drown out the reality that they're living in the past while the world flies by

It means you look like an idiot that doesn't belong in consulting.

It means you probably know who Chalk Prentice is

Could be based on your dressing, your behavior,....etc

I bet of what D1 said, the "space" thing, yoga, hippy with money in nice clothes, and possibly being really into self reflection are all not true. How close am I OP?

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
