Once you start to look like Jack Dorsey, you're crossing the line of professionalism.

Once you start to look like Gandalf, Jesus, or someone who froze themselves right after Woodstock ended it's time to take care of the beard.

I meant to click other on this. I think beards can be professional as long as they are maintained.

People who think beards are unprofessional are living in the 1980s still.

If it's a well-groomed one then sure, If you look fresh off a climb to Everest then probably not.

One of the grossest things is when men get food and drink in their beard...at least birds are cute.

As long as the beard is maintained and not scraggly, I don't see any problem with having one.

Depends on the industry, who your typical client is, and at what point in the pandemic we are in. Early to mid pandemic = beard.  Late to end pandemic = no beard.  ;)

It is a good topic and it is funny to talk haha ​​but many people believe that a budna beard helps to give presence and presentation to a person, others see it informal, from my side I agree hahaha
