How do you dress for virtual interviews? Is a sweater fine or you still wear professional attire like a shirt?

No a sweater isn’t fine… it’s an interview?

I literally couldn't care less what people wear to my interviews. I'm wearing a t-shirt and a Sherpa lined hoodie.

That said when I interview, I still at least put on a button down.

I’d wear a jacket. No tie.

just a dress shirt is fine

Assuming this is a professional services role wearing business professional is very unlikely to hurt you. Dressing more casual may not be an issue or could irk your interviewer - I probably would wear a suit but no tie

Agree. Id take it as the same dress code as an in-person interview. A suit won’t hurt you. A suit and a tie won’t hurt you. While most folks say they are ok with just a dress shirt, your particular interviewer may not be, so it may cost you a few points. If you don’t get the job, you may kick your self in the a$$ and wonder if it’s because you didn’t do something as simple as not wear a suit coat, especially if you really want this job (or out of your current job)

I threw a blazer on. Didn’t have a fancy shirt on. And it was all black - i prob wouldn’t have worn it to an in-person event (quality of blazer / shirt) but on zoom, there’s far less visual detail observable especially with a black outfit.

Hey all - 2 years in consulting so far as a fairly "type b" personality - relaxed, uncompetitive, enjoy socializing with my colleagues. To be clear, this is not the same as being lazy or irresponsible - I am diligent and do my work well.

Nonetheless I think we can generally say finance/professional services etc. reward "type a" habitudes on its face.

Thought it could be fun/funny/supportive to share experiences as the chiller brains in these anxiety-fueled fields.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer.
