Career Clinic: Can a beard hold you back in the City?
My last trainee decided to grow a beard half way through his seat. Although a couple of partners made jokey comments to me, I never said anything to the trainee - partly because I wasn't sure how much of an issue it really was. What do people think? Can a beard hold you back in a City firm? If so, how should one go about giving feedback on personal appearance to a trainee?
