McKinsey & Company Could not be a more silly question than this. But as a male what should I wear for day one at McKinsey & Company ? White button down, blue slacks, and oxfords? Should I wear a blazer or suit jacket?

Dress for success. Good luck at your first day with the firm.

Slacks, button down, and monotone sneakers (e.g., On, Common Projects) is what you’ll see 90% of people wear

No suit jacket. Suit shirt, slacks, dress shoes

You can wear common projects, but I wouldn’t start off wearing them. Wear dress shoes until you get a sense of what’s appropriate on your teams / office.

Definitely dress as nice as clients (if not one step nicer)

Internal training type day like Embark? In the US I believe they usually specify smart casual. They likely specified attire expectations.

Don’t wear a coat
Wear a collared shirt, slacks, dress shoes/loafers

Hi Fishes,
I have been working with Walmart for the past 14 months and have recently got an offer from Blackrock for 45 LPA.
Considering the recession and US market scenario, help me understand if it will be a good move to join BlackRock OR should I continue with Walmart with the current compensation.

PS. I am not happy with growth prospects in the current project in Walmart.

Role : Data Scientist
YOE : 11
C CTC :35 LPA
