Super off topic but perception of facial hair? I’ve been mostly clean shaven my entire career but then started to try and grow a beard. Always have this gut feeling that I should always be clean shaven from an optics perspective

Depends on role.

If you are client facing keep it clean.

If you lead meetings or contribute to them keep it clean

If you are new to a job keep it clean

If you are job searching keep it clean

If you're an excel gremlin that has surpassed the brown nosing phase, do what you want

If you work remote do what you want

Clean Shaven - looks nice
FULL beard - looks nice
Patchy beard - trash
Growth stage to full beard - trash

If you wanna grow a beard go on a vacation or
wait till thanksgiving/Christmas time with lots of time off during the awkward growth stage to a full beard or make sure you hit that barber every week to keep you crisp

I myself rock a clean shadow and let it grow to 2 length. Then rinse and repeat.

The 2 is a great spot imo. Perfectly fine
If you wanna grow it out wait till the winter holiday season starting around thanksgiving. Get weekly shape-ups and come into the office Jan 2 like a certified pimp with a full grown beard that is well kept.

I think you should be fine. The dress code for corporate in 2023 is way more lax than it was 10/15 years ago

It's fine growing some beard as long as it doesn't look like it was grown out of depression. It's someone's preference and it adds to their personality.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
