If it’s Friday: think start-up culture but more professional. Jeans, button-down, loafers.

Any other weekday: People will be formal depending on what they’re doing. Most likely suit, button down, no tie.

like

I would say that the tie is not necessary

like

White tie every day

Suit and tie.

And White shoes

Even if its a practice interview, youre still in the interview process and want to dress to impress. Think about it like youre going to a client office to talk to a senior leader before the RFP.

Thanks all! I was mostly debating Tie vs No Tie.

Thanks!

No tie

Hi All,
Apart from the pandemic year, how's hike and bonus in EY GDS in general?

I've heard that last year was rough but in general its good. Is that true?

I'm joining next month. Can i expect an annual hike of 10℅+ and bonus > 10℅ (which is target VP at my rank, 42) going forward?? Or is this unrealistic?

I know that it comes down to individual performance and other business factors. But still, could you all pls advise me so that i can know what to expect.
