[QUOTE="Test_Account, post: 216009, member: 41892"] Hello! You’re definitely not the first person to ask a question like that. I completely understand where you are coming from. Firms absolutely care about the professionalism of their candidates. However, I would say that when it comes to less conventional styling choices, a smart beard is at the lowest end of this spectrum (unlike, say, facial tattoos) and is highly unlikely to raise eyebrows. What tends to matter is whether it looks smart (judging from your description, this is the case), not whether you’re clean-shaven. I’ve personally seen a range of male facial hair across all levels of seniority at law firms. In my view, this is not going to be an issue at all - and you should go for what makes you feel best!
