and whats your salary range and industry?

Since most people in this section are recently graduated (or still in school) we'll use the following ranges:

very low: $0-$25,000
low: $25,001- $40,000
medium: $40,001- $55,000
high: $55,001 - $70,000
very high: $70,001+

I tried to use average salary data for Raleigh as a guide for these ranges. Sorry if you don't agree with them

4/18/2008 12:21:26 PM

and varies on if I have a meeting with a client or not, but our office is pretty casual, you still have to dress nice, but doesnt have to be formal

4/18/2008 12:26:06 PM

Medium and I wear slacks, a dress shirt, and tie every day.

4/18/2008 12:27:56 PM

dress shirt, tie, slacks, etc...

very annoying. dry cleaning is a bitch

4/18/2008 12:41:16 PM

Not allowed to wear denim

I wear comfortable clothing, and I try to look halfway professional/presentable (no t shirts, etc)

4/18/2008 12:47:26 PM

high/very high (do bonus's count) currently in a tee shirt, shorts, and some adias sandals.

4/18/2008 1:20:34 PM

very high: Jeans and polo shirt occasionally with a button down shirt and almost always with tennis shoes. Our dress code just changed from khakis exclusively to jeans if we want. Tucking in is optional.

4/18/2008 2:17:37 PM

1/2 to 2/3 of the way into the "low" category.

[But because of some favorable circumstances, I save > 75%, so my salary would be equivalent to a US salary of perhaps 75+K]

Dress shirts and trousers.

But I might just switch to jeans and decent plain full-sleeve t-shirts. like I did halfway through last academic year!

4/18/2008 2:48:06 PM

very low (grad student)
More or less whatever I want.

4/18/2008 3:00:10 PM

Medium

Polo and jeans
I could get away with a tshirt though. And never tuck in anything.

4/18/2008 3:16:38 PM

very high

At my last job in DC where we worked with our customer frequently, I wore suit and tie. Now I work in more of a lab environment so I wear khaki slacks, dress shirt, and dress shoes.

4/18/2008 3:59:30 PM

high

anything I want as long as its not offensive.

4/18/2008 4:21:46 PM

the middle spectrum of high (which means low pretty much since I'm in the Bay Area!)

dockers and a polo most days. if i'm meeting with a client or presenting a report i'll wear a suit.

4/18/2008 4:50:53 PM

Medium

carhartt briar pants and underarmour shirts, cowboy hat, kangaroo leather boots. browning snakeproof boots if it gets bad.

4/18/2008 4:59:00 PM

medium

Button-down or polo, usually but not always tucked in, slacks/khakis/jeans depending on my mood. There isn't a "dress code" per se but I think too casual (t-shirt, shorts, anything with holes, sandals) would get me spoken to.

4/18/2008 5:10:11 PM

Quote :

"very high, shorts and flip flops"

4/19/2008 1:03:05 AM

Medium with two jobs.

One I wear khakis and a polo, the other haha, khakis and a polo.

Anyone know where I can find one medium job?

4/19/2008 8:58:23 AM

jeans or shorts and a polo or t-shirt-- iow, no dress code.

very high

4/19/2008 12:05:53 PM

button down and khakis or slacks
occasionally a tie when feeling like it
jeans on friday (no holes or frays though)

very high


for what it's worth though, my group used to be located the floor directly below the ceo.

at that time, it was jacket and tie, 5 days a week. if you got up and left your office, you were required to put on your jacket (even to go piss or go get lunch)

glad it's not now!

(although if im on site, and know i'll be going into the plant areas a lot ill drop down to jeans and a button up.)

[Edited on April 19, 2008 at 3:17 PM. Reason : e]

4/19/2008 3:16:44 PM

Medium. Cargo pants and polo shirts usually.

I get away with cargo pants because I have to carry around a bunch of shit every day.

4/19/2008 3:20:50 PM

medium

my balls

unless we have to meet with fancy pants people or eat their food

4/19/2008 3:40:49 PM

high

heels slacks & dress shirts most days

if i am hanging out with salesmen & customers, khakis, button down & boots

i can wear jeans on friday but a) i'm never in the office and b) i like dressing for work & wouldn't wear jeans in the office anyway

4/19/2008 5:51:31 PM

medium

work pants (100% cotton navy blue)
T-shirt, sweatshirt if the weather needs it, button up "dress" shirt with "Brass" when doing official things outside of the station...
also wear shorts and sweatpants during workout and sleepy time
my other job lets me wear shorts at work, is nice....

i love my jobs

4/19/2008 6:11:27 PM

When I was working, I was in the low range. I could wear whatever I wanted to wear, but I usually stuck to kid friendly and comfortable jeans, a fitted shirt, and sneakers.

My husband's salary depends on how the precinct is performing due to bonuses. When business is bad, medium. When business is good, high. He wears standard issue Geek Squad: black shoes, white shocks, high water black pants, white shirt, black clip on tie, and badge. Unless he's the manager on duty and then he wears dress pants, button up shirt, and tie.

4/19/2008 7:52:33 PM

high

polo or sweater depending on weather
khaki pants or jeans if i want

supposedly steel-toe shoes around equipment, but i usually just wear my dr. martens

4/19/2008 7:59:00 PM

dweedle wears my fist marks!

4/19/2008 8:03:24 PM

high

shirts: tshirt or polo
pants: shorts or jeans or khakis
shoes: flip flops or tennis shoes or sometimes nicer shoes with khakis

i dress up in a suit when clients visit

4/19/2008 8:27:07 PM

high

slacks, dress shirt, tie. We get the occasional business casual day once a week or so. A jeans day once a month. I like dressing down but its cheesy to get that as some sort of reward like we do at my office. I'd rather they just say, "OK, no clients this week, go casual".

4/19/2008 8:44:27 PM

high: a dress shirt and a pair of khakis supplemented with a fleece with no casual days.

However, when I was working at the old site in the Midwest for the same type of position, it was just polo and khakis with jeans on Fridays. I think they're more relaxed out there than back here on the East Coast.

4/19/2008 11:05:59 PM

What if you make exactly $70,000?

4/20/2008 12:10:09 AM

i think the 'high' states that

and 70,001 is for very high

4/20/2008 1:26:49 AM

I think my joke bombed because I meant it to be $70,001. Point being, there is a gap in the stated ranges.

4/20/2008 2:18:50 AM

For what it's worth.. I used to wear t shirt/jeans everyday when I did IT work. I'm in sales now though and have to dress up. Like I said earlier, I like to dress up and honestly it's as comfortable if not more so.

And as far as my salary goes...I took a cut in pay for the experience. The people I'm working for now are all worth over $10M and I'm learning an incredible amount everyday. The only person technically above me makes well into 6 figures and he's only expected to be there another two years at most so I'll be taking his place.

I have to admit that it sucks dick right now but hopefully in the longterm it's worth it..

4/20/2008 3:21:53 AM

suit or blazer & slacks

4/20/2008 4:09:44 AM

low

dress pants and a sweater or blouse... Sometimes with a dress shirt and a blazer if I'm going somewhere with the attorney. Always wear heels.

I've noticed that the girls will wear flip flops with a skirt or dress pants on warm days...

4/20/2008 11:19:47 AM

very high

depends on the day...ranges from sneakers/jeans/t-shirt to khakis/button down shirt. no tie.

4/20/2008 12:23:50 PM

High

No jeans allowed, no t-shirts, although if you wear them, no one cares

4/20/2008 1:18:50 PM

Low- wear whatever I want, usually jeans and a t-shirt. Though, I am still in grad school.
