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.

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

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
