Fashion fish:
First round virtual interview for ZS SIPA - case + behavior

Is a button down + jacket too much?
I think a polo would be too casual and think just a nice, traditional solid blue button down will work

TIA!!

I wore a jacket and tie for my virtual interview several months ago. Nobody commented that I was overdressed, but my interviewers were all in typical collared shirts with no jacket. I’m sure you’d be fine with jacket and button down

Def button down and jacket. They’ll probably be casual but you’d rather be more professional

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor. Whenever I would do a solid job, he would always down play it or give the mid-level mgr credit even though other people / management acknowledged it. But we still got along. When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?
