I'm as sartorial as they come. My friends call me 'Swagnificent'; I typically wore tailored, French-cuff shirts, a fedora and suits to my former job as a sysadmin at a Big 4 firm. People regularly stop me on the street and ask to take pictures of me. TL;DR, I'm all for dressing up.
But something about this delights me. Imagine, walking into a room of self-indulgent, Wall Street pricks, knowing that they're tripping over themselves to get in on the action. I think I'd be tempted to rub it in. Ordinarily, someone approaches a bank out of their own necessity. Here, the tables have turned. And I love it.
Wasn't there a story a few years back about Microsoft calling Zuck for conference call at 9AM, and he told them he was still sleeping; and to call back?
- kemiller 14y agoDressing well as a sysadmin is an act of rebellion. ;)
- atonse 14y agoI'm similar and I too got the same amount of pleasure reading this. Wall Street investors don't have any principles. The only thing they care about is how much money you make for them. Zuck could've shown up naked and they would've still jumped all over each other to invest in Facebook. And this idiot who complained that Zuck underdressed - if he doesn't invest because of that, and the stock skyrockets, you think he's still going to have his job? Doubt it. He'd be out on the street wearing a hoodie.

- blhack 14y agoI have literally never seen a person pull off a fedora. Link to picture?
- kahawe 14y agoI am sorry but your 'swagnificent' style would go down at least as bad as the hoodie with that crowd...
