Going for an onsite interview and in email they said ‘attire: pretty casual here. Jeans are a-okay :)’. Do you think I should wear jeans to fit in or is this a trap? Please help a girl out!

if they explicitly said jeans are okay, I would dress it up with jeans (blazer, heals, whatever). Don't go anymore than a smart business casual.

Interviewed at a place like this, told me to wear what I was comfortable in, but jeans were OK.

ended up wearing something a bit more formal so I would feel good, but would have rocked jeans and a T-shirt if I felt comfortable in it

For interviews I always error on the side of too formal. Jeans might be “okay” but that doesn’t mean everyone in the office wears them

Jeans

When I interviewed with a tech company where everyone wore jeans/shorts I went in business formals (pant suit) because HR suggested to wear something formal. I still got the offer but it definitely felt weird because my entire interview panel were very casual. I don’t know what HR and I were thinking! 🤔

I think nice dark jeans without any rips would be appropriate. Or you could wear chinos/khaki pants which are still on the casual side but not as casual.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
