I work at a boutique firm in NYC - our policy is to dress business professional if you're at a client site or meeting with a client. We can dress more casual if we're at our office, however I always keep a spare blazer at my desk in case of a last minute meeting. For day 1, I suggest business professional until you can get a feel for the place to stay on the safe side.

^no way for us to advise you since it’s a smaller firm vs MBB or B4 or ACN where it’s pretty standard. Manhattan is especially tricky - some require bus professional, some let you wear casual.

Congrats on the job!

Question should’ve been more location-based - previous job in LA so just wondering what NYC women like to wear in summer. I know I don’t need business professional daily Will try nyc bowl

Super pissed with this guy I am seeing.
