Genuine question.

Do I need to wear a tie for a zoom interview or is a suit jacket and dress shirt (and sweatpants) sufficient?

Jacket is fine. I would remove the sweatpants and just keep it to boxer briefs

No need for sweatpants or any pants, really. Just a dress shirt and jacket.

I have a zoom interview this week and was just going to wear a button down. I guess a jacket is safe but if someone doesn’t want to move forward with me because I don’t have a jacket and tie on for Zoom, I don’t want to work there.

Honestly if someone wore a suit and tie that I interviewed over zoom I would think they were strange. It would be a red flag.

Literally got offers from all b4 I wasn’t already working for mid COVID last year and the fanciest thing I wore was a v-neck so you might be overthinking this

Assuming talking about a corporate role and not a start up then you can never go wrong with full business attire. Just ask the recruiter

Yes corporate, it's in-house strategy for an IB

For PwC yes

Seriously?? We did away with ties even for interviews in person.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
