fwiw, this is super important to me too (I wear whatever I want, which is hardly ever remotely “professional”) and I’ve never felt out of place or judged when at a Boston EA, Harvard EA, or EA NYC event
Great to hear! I haven’t interacted much with the EA communities on the east coast, I was mainly speaking about my experience with the culture overall (e.g., interning at non-EA companies near DC vs. in the Bay Area)
Coming from a culture that places no emphasis on work attire whatsoever, I agree this is important :)
