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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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".

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.

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

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..

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...
