I have a personal rule that any job which requires I wear a suit, for non functional uses, is not a job for me. the respectability politics of a suit being the only acceptable attire for a "professional" is invlaid from my pov. To me, the suit is a traditional item of clothing culturally synonymous with white collar jobs and the pursuit of the lifestyle that comes with it. I do not find the lifestyle appealing. When I was heavily involved in a professional engineering organization, I never wore a full suit, at most a sweater. Still went up the ladder because of the work I did. When I got hired at my current job, I didnt wear a suit, chinos and a red shirt. Been here 3 years. Everyday, for work, Im im jeans and a T-shirt. No one respects my engineering work less.
