About to have my first zoom interview this week, what do you wear? Should you wear what you would wear to an in person interview, ie suit and tie?

Candidates are far too casual these days imo. I would dress as you would in person esp for a first meeting.

Depends on industry. But yeah - I’d wear whatever you’d wear in person. Maybe one level less formal (e.g if you’d wear a suit maybe you can skip the tie)

Yeah

A nice Polo or a button down. I think its silly to put a suit on for a zoom call. Haven’t had any issues with it. All of my interviewers, including partner and MD have all
been even more casual(t shirt, crewneck) and the occasional polo.

As others mentioned it depends. If its a large bank, a dress shirt with a blazer/sportsjacket if you want to be on the safe side (suit and tie may or may not be excessive depending on the bank.) If its more casual like a tech startup, I like solid color vnecks. For anything else or in the middle, a polo or your average button up shirt would probably be your safest bet.

Bespoke board shorts.

No need to wear pants if it’s a zoom interview lol

At least have your camera on. For Salesforce stuff I wear a polo or button down and a trailblazer sweatshirt over it to interviews

Yes, suit and tie. It's still an interview.
