Theory - Hairstyle tells you a lot about a banker when networking/interviewing

If you want to be able to read the room when coffee chatting, interviewing or at a networking event/competition/conference, just look at the person's hairstyle. 

If it's a guy with a lax flow or borderline mullet that screams ΠΚΑ from UVA, chances are you're better off shifting the conversation towards sports, hobbies, your typical Friday night out, etc to get him to like you 

If it's a guy with a cookie cutter conservative finance haircut, you'll probably want to ask questions about dealflow, culture, market trends, etc to get in his good fraces

This advice has worked for me about 95%+ of the time in the past few years I've been networking and interviewing

 

Is it common for people to ask interviewers what they do for fun outside of work, or is that more of something they ask you first and you ask them this after?
