Yeah, depends on department I suppose. I’m at an NYC agency and if someone rolls in wearing a suit to an interview I ask them which department they’d like to intern in...

Florida isn’t the Sudan… You’re interviewing for a VP role at an agency. Wear a suit.

I would definitely dispense with the socks. Bare ankles between your loafers and seersucker pants definitely telegraphs, "I’m that chilled out MoFo you need to rock this house ‘o cards."

Did you speak with a recruiter at any point during this process? You could always reach out to see what the culture/dress code is like and plan accordingly from there. If not, the middle ground between super casual and a suit would be like...chinos and a button-down, maybe a tie or a sport coat/blazer. Professional without being too buttoned up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What agency?

what department

Yeah a suit, would be weird.

a somewhat casual suit with tie could work, especially for account...really depends on personal style.

It does depend on the agency, last one I was at was owned and run by corporate types so a sharp suit went a long way, but then they went and surprised us by hiring an ECD in a T-shirt and jeans. Then again his confidence and presence was stronger “suited.” If, though, the interviewee in the slim fit suit was a better presenter, I know they would have gone with him. I’m in Florida, was not your typical creative agency, more tech

Loafers

100% based on where in Florida.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
