My husband won't stop wearing band tees with holes in them. He's a tech executive. I keep telling him showing up on zoom like that isn't doing him any favors. Man doesn't care. Can't help but respect his convictions.
As a programmer, I'd trust a tech exec with a scruffy beard and/or wearing dilapidated band shirts over some guy with nice clothes and an impeccable shave any day of the week. You're right that it probably doesn't help him with other execs or finance guys though
If working in a professional career while wearing a band tshirt is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
Depends on the Bands really..
I am a chief engineer in a national governement agency where I live. I am pretty specialized with 20 years experience.
Every day in a hoodie is a win.
But there is something in the fact that if you show up in a shirt, suit/ suit trousers and a sweather you show respect for the people you are meeting. Meeting someone and they did not even care enough about the meeting to wear something "decent"
