Is it standard to wear a suit for your first day as a permanent big law associate? I'm at a business casual firm, but almost everyone wore suits for the first day of the summer program and I don't want to be the one guy who gets it wrong this time around.
Sorry if there's been a thread on this recently -- I couldn't find one.
