Not as great as I would like it to be since insurance is something where salary gets capped. im employed by a small business since all State Farm agencies are small business owners. 47k salary + commission which is usually $2k/mo

Doing a remote interview tomorrow for an in-house position that I really want. Invite says "[company] is a startup, so a full suit is not necessary! Business casual attire is recommended." Like I said, I really want this job, and the idea of not wearing a suit is just weird to me

Should I still wear the suit or would it be counter productive?

Did anyone else noticed on today's consulting year end webcast ,during the end in Q&A... the panel answered the WFH Or WFO question with below response ..

"Although we have people happily coming to office of their own choice but we are a people first company and there is no mandate on WFH Or WFO... its your career to make,your choice to take . We just promote return to togetherness..be it in office or virtually "

Can anyone else also confirm it they heard the same? Or have i misinterpreted
