Any recs on what to wear for FAANG virtual interview? Always wore button down shirt and blazer for consulting (am a girl). Feel like tech is more casual/should I ditch the blazer? Role is for Strategy if that matters.

I recently applied for a new job, went through an extensive entire interview process and was rejected. Throughout the interview process, the recruiter and interviewers had provided me with very positive feedback and even lead me to believe that I would most likely receive an offer. I was very disappointed as this is the second occurrence. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

I am out of the country for a little while and honestly don’t want to go through the hassle to do this work to fix their mistake.
