Hi, I would like to ask about the Canary Wharf Office's dress code (Consulting Service Line). Thanks!
Additional information
I'm not a British national, hence am not familiar with usual expectations of office wear there

Hi! All EY offices have a 'dress for your day' policy. We tend to dress pretty casually if we're going to just be in the office all day (can even be jeans and a tee-shirt) but this might vary by team. If we have client meetings then generally we meet the client's level of smartness (your project team will be able to guide you on this).
Remember that how you dress is a representation of your personal brand so you are better off over-dressing for your first few days and then scaling it back once you settle into your team.

Hi thanks for the response. I was wondering would you dress in a suit or is that too much for EY's office culture?

Some people do wear a suit, you really can't over-dress so don't stress about it. A lot of new joiners wear suits for the induction process and then might change it up when they meet their team and see how smart / casual the team dress.
As I mentioned above, it's more important to think about your personal brand and the image that you want to portray than what other people are doing.
