Eww. Get that black suit out of the rotation. Dark grey or dark blue. White shirt. Tie

You can 100% wear black shoes with a navy suit

And you should wear a belt but no one will actually care

Business attire is formulaic. In this case - blue suit, white shirt, black shoes, black belt, inoffensive tie that matches navy (NOT red, NOT yellow - do not play these “subconscious messaging” games with ties. Go simple for the suit and shirt - base colours of light blue, salmon, maroon, burgundy, grey, dark green; simple patterns on top are ok; half Windsor knot)

In NYC I would definitely wear a tie. I would say a navy suit, but that is more personal preference. Either would be fine

Thanks all. Looks like I will go with navy blue, a tie, and brown shoes of course. My question was as good as can I wear black shoes with a navy blue suit? No you can't.

What does everyone think of the no belt look?

I doubt they would ding you for reasonable suit choices, hopefully this is the least of your worries going into finals.

Black tux and V-neck, guessing you’re interviewing for Gamma / Digital and not Generalist track

Blue or charcoal grey suit, black or brown shoes... I went with no tie but if you wear one should be neutral

I had a dream last night about going to a big piano performance and instead of worrying about the music I was freaking out about what suit to wear. I ended up going out on stage in a 2” too big double breasted black suit with a thin tie and a small knot. I was sitting in the bar drinking and worrying. And then I realized that I hadn’t practiced the piece I was supposed to play for weeks. Thanks a lot fish bowl

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
