Is facial hair unprofessional?

you're damn right it is. it's much more important to be comfortable.

that may be the definition but i said meaning
professionalism, the way we and most other people use it, generally refers to the way you have to present yourself hair, clothing, and speech-wise
you know, the thing we're arguing about?

And then get rejected for not dressing appropriately. Great

Except there's a word for getting your job done and it's called 'competence' No need to change existing word's definitions

i agree suits as an expectation for "professionalism" is a mindless tradition, but i also really like suits >:(

Your beard isn't sloppy or messy but if you grew it out again you should definitely add some curvature around your jaw bone instead of mostly straight. I could maybe see it from a "it's not professional" view but it's really not that bad.
Try for a style like this where it's a higher/wider from your jaw line and gives your face more definition
Alteration:
I don't understand Das's argument that "times have changed". People are actively, in this moment, right now, wearing suits at their job. Times have not changed at all, and probably will not for a long time. Honestly, it's just very self-centered to expect the entire world to change to your standards of work attire because you're too lazy to wear decent clothing.
Anyways, proof that looking professional counts with two 90's Bowies (quickest comparison that came to mind, sorry if it seems 'randumb'):
Left Bowie is probably far more comfortable than Right Bowie, but Right Bowie doesn't look like he will touch your kids. He also has facial hair, so as long as you rock it right, you can probably get away with it in a professional environment (no goatees though).
Sorry if I seem fanatical about dress code, I'm OCD and obsessed with looking good. It probably stems from a deep insecurity or something.
