Pure tech no, but I bet they'd all roll down their sleeves if they're interviewing at a financial services company.

I know at least one executive --- as in, is on the website --- of an east coast Fortune 50 bank with sleeves and a bushy beard.

I've worked in sales before (in the investment bank), and was chewed out for the 3 months I tried to grow out a beard.

I have no trouble believing the rules for sales are not the same as the rules for IS/IT.

They're probably more stringent as it's directly customer facing.

I'm sure they exist but by far that's the exception and not the norm.
