Groomed is fine. I doubt anyone will really care unless you look like you just came off a 2 month hike in India

If you have to ask it’s probably not professional looking enough

Plenty of people have beards all the way up to PPD. Minority for sure, but a significant number. As long as you’re grooming it professionally you should be good

Just shave the neck and u good. I rarely razor clean shave it as I look 12 years old when I do. But keep it trimmed pretty short

I shave the neck with razor, but rarely shave the rest with razor that is

I keep a scruff and no one cares

SA1. People care.

Lol no. My client is lax and they themselves have all sorts of facial hair. I like to keep a 5pm shadow

Plenty of guys have beards. Just keep it nice. And shave your neck, that's the big thing.

I've got a beard on the longer side and I'm pretty lazy and keeping it cleaned up sometimes, it's never been an issue.

I have a naturally scraggly beard, rarely trimmed up neatly and fairly long, but i make sure to overdress and keep my hair in line, and its never been an issue

^ tell me you don't have a man bun

Get after it. Seen multiple guys sport it well

What's the most effective way for a small RIA to recruit FAs who have a few years experience, want to break away from large/corporate firms? I'm a $70M fee-only (commissions for insurance) independent RIA with a generous comp schedule that enables FAs to own their own book while they grow. As the owner, my focus is to help FAs succeed; as a firm, our focus is on client service and helping them succeed. I can afford a small salary, but not benefits. I'm especially interested in female FAs.
