I think you've already made up your mind. Some people will not mind changing their attires for the job. I say you do you. Good luck. Hope to welcome you to the fam.

OP are you interviewing wth Deloitte Consulting or Deloitte Advisory? I find that Advisory is more inclusive and actively promote diversity/inclusion. It's absolutely tue that some offices have gender neutral bathrooms, and I'm positive more will convert. I find it annoying that people who are not at Deloitte are commenting about our culture. There will always be people like D7, but they are being outnumbered as the new generations are being hired. I really hope you feel welcomed at the interview and eventually at Deloitte if you take the offer.

What idiot told you to wear heels? Nobody wants to hire someone tottering around unconfidently. More than 70% of the women on my project don't wear heels to work. I never wore heels to my interviews. Do you all the way!!

Deloitte is pretty progressive. when the anti-trans bill was passed, The leadership sent emails condemning it. Then they built gender neutral bathrooms in major offices 😀

OC pick your battles. Would you rather lose a 100k job just to prove your point or pat yourself on the back for making a statement. Sounds like a total non issue

Ridiculous comment D7.

D7 there's a difference between choosing not to wear formal clothes with an "identity" excuse vs choosing to wear heels vs leather oxfords. Did you even read OP's OP?

Be you and if that means you don't get the job you don't want to work there anyway.

No one really cares or minds. Wear what you normally do.

I got hired with pink hair. Admittedly I changed it back to a normal color before starting, but that was my choice. I'd be surprised if your shoe choice affected anything as long as you look sharp

@D7 I highly recommend you read some thought leadership on gender authenticity in the workplace. I will post the article I published on this post interview/hopeful offer. Also legitimately please read your company's stance on inclusion and diversity.

It's always been a dream of mine to work at Google, specifically as a UX designer (currently transitioning into UX from visual design). I've been so afraid to apply to any jobs with UX title, Google or not, because I'm always doubting myself and telling myself I'm still under-qualified.

UX designers & hiring managers, what are the skills a designer must have to be "qualified" for a UX position? Keywords on resume? Certifications? Thank you all in advance!

I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.
