Starting at a Big4 as an experienced hire consultant (4 yoe). I would like to get one excellent watch using my signing bonus. The Aqua Terra, blue-faced 41 or 38mm. Do a lot of consultants wear nice watches? Would anyone react negatively when seeing it or would they not even care? Maybe I’m over thinking it. I hustled to get here. I want to take a breather and celebrate.

I think that’s a great choice to not be flashy to laypeople, yet watch enthusiasts would recognize and respect it

helpful

I wouldn’t wear anything gold, but otherwise your good.

Go for it, almost always no one will notice if you’re wearing a certain brand or not unless they’re into watches. Also congrats and celebrate your success!

I don’t think anyone would care, most people honestly won’t notice unless they’re watch people too (or unless the watch is overly flashy).

For reference,

It would be a dark blue face, steel case (no gold), and I’d switch the bracelet for a nato strap. Very discrete. No one would think it’s a rolex, which I think sends a certain aggressive signal.

Random, but is an SC position or manager?

I love the aqua terra. No one will notice what you’re wearing or how much it cost unless they’re into watches.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
