Long hair for a guy in IB?

I'll be starting as an analyst at a west coast, upper-MM bank soon. I've had long hair since the start of covid basically, and these days I keep it tied back in a low man bun. I worked at a different place asSAlast year and I did kinda feel like it set me apart from the other interns and analysts. No one really seemed to mind and I got a few compliments on my hairstyle but I did get some curious looks from senior level employees at times.

自从我开始在一个新地方我想做一个good first impression. Do you guys think it would make any difference having long hair? Or would I be better off safe and cutting it shorter? My dad (works finance in NY) has been pushing me to cut it because he's worried about the stigma from older people. I personally think long hair makes me look good (and my girlfriend likes it too). It is the west coast but I don't think I've met a single male analyst with long hair. Am I just overthinking it?

If you already have the job, I'd say you're just overthinking it. Notat aBB, but one of our MD's on the West Coast has long hair past his shoulders. Just be professional, do good work, and don't stress about it.

我成长在COVID,但当在剪掉terviewing because all things being equal, I didn't want to lose out on a position due to looking unprofessional.

I have curly long hair, use a small man bun for interviews and when I'm at work during the day if it gets messy for a crisper look. Mostly, nobody will care at all if you do a good job and are sociable and generally kill all the other aspects.
