Well nothing really. Every new project I start has a slightly new standard however this is only due to learning something new that I feel is standardized and being too lazy to redo code in older projects. There is problably nothing I cannot get used simply because I don't have a well defined way of doing thing because I'm always trying to add better habits.

@L. Spiro (how do i reference him)? Have you decided something already?

I've been fortunate enough that I don't have anyone telling me how to code or how not to code. I do a lot of tutorial stuff, and even at work I wasn't hired to be a programmer and so I'm pretty much the only real programmer in our IT department. No one else even knows enough to really care to review my code. For example, the mail server administrator isn't going to worry about my code. And as long as I don't eat up all the network bandwidth, neither are the network administrators.

I would probably be very annoyed if someone told me I have to do something differently. I do things the way I do for a reason. I haven't had that happen since I was coding for minimum wage forever ago when I was just starting out.

But as a professional, I think it's par for the course. Having readable code is paramount for the project and some programmers my go a bit crazy if not reined in. I would expect that I would have to conform to someone else's standard. And truthfully, I would probably learn to like it over time. A lot of my way of doing things is because I've always done it that way. I use Pascal case because Pascal was the first language I got formal training in and now I code everything from Python, to C++, to PowerShell in Pascal case. I strongly believe in having that bracket on it's own line, because it's 1,000 times more readable that way. In short, I'm highly opinionated and have my own style. But quite a bit of it probably comes from merely being used to doing it that way. If forced to do it another way for a long period of time, I would probably get used to it and then insist on coding everything that way from then on. Regardless, I think if you want a job you conform to whatever style the company wants no matter how much you hate it. But having some dialog to allow some discussion on it would be nice.
