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 it’s a trap, you should not want to work there anyways

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.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…
