How should I dress for a video interview with Booz Allen? It's for a data scientist position. I'm a guy. I was thinking business casual because it feels weird to dress up in a suit for a video chat but is that the new standard now for interviews?

It’s BAH... just wear a Snuggie blanket.

Business casual should be fine. "Dress for your day" is a BAH policy. Basically, dress professionally, but no need to overdo it. The only time I wear suits is when I'm client site/facing.

I would dress in a suit unless that makes you uncomfortable.

I had a video interview in 2016. Wore a suit and tie but took the jacket off so I wouldn't sweat.

Biz casual sounds good to me but I always err on the side of being overdressed than under.

I wore a blazer and white shirt with no tie

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
