Hello everyone, I should be starting at Bloomberg NYC as a new grad software engineer in a couple weeks. I have a couple questions. Do people wear dress shirts to the office? I will the first day for sure, but just curious what to expect.. Is there any advantage to working at the main office vs the other two in nyc? During christmas, do people get days off or do you have to request the days off and use your vacation days? Also, I know that its mandatory 3 days in person, but maybe during the holidays would I be able to work from home (Canada) for maybe 2 weeks or something? Any other advice or pieces of wisdom would also be appreciated as I am pretty nervous. Thanks! TC: 175,000 1 YOE #bloomberg #bloomberglp
Internal software sometimes wears T-shirts and hoodies. If you want to give the best impression then wear business casual that fits well.
I see, thanks!
what is your TC breakdown
153 base 22 bonus
Wut? For that I’m not wearing even a bathing suit.
Wear a dress. Bloomberg is LGBTQ friendly
Lol
No dress code. Engineers wearing polos and pants, some do swear dress shirts, but suit is never seen for me personally
Awesome thanks!
I wear shorts and tshirt in the summer. Just for reference. Jeans and tshirt is everywhere
Hey Bloomberg, would you be willing to refer me?
Good to know, thanks!
You can wear a dress shirt if you want but that's not the norm. Gotta shoot my shot, will you be willing to refer once you join?
On the first day all the new grads dressed up, some in suits and some in the midtown uniform. At the end of the week most were wearing nice shorts and t-shirts. Gym shorts and flip flops are socially off limits - there's no policy and no one's going to yell at you, but people will look at you funny. I have seen the occasional birkenstocks around toward the end of my tenure. source: worked for ~3 years bloomberg after graduation
Great, thanks!

Who are these retards asking for dictatorship in India?
Bloomberg is for banking folks. You are expected to wear suits there. I have friends working there
💀💀💀
Wow, engineers have to wear a full suit 3 times a week there? I guess that would make sense
