HBS students are diverse and dress differently. It’s recruiting season so if you see a current student dressed professionally, it’s probably because there is a company info or networking event. Ties are almost never seen.

The prospectives/interviewing applicants stand out for (a) often looking v young and (b) looking v over dressed and stressed (caveat: students who interviewed already look less stressed).

Outside of the interview, I’d say it’s okay to wear what helps you feel your best (anywhere from business casual to business professional) so you can enjoy the day of programming.

I’m a current HBS student. This person nailed it

You have activities arranged or just chilling?

Thanks! Better to overdress than under - will take your advice.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

Pwc AC Hi All, What is Product innovation practise in PWC AC Bangalore? I was interviewed for AWS Data Engineer profile.Pwc AC PwC

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
