Yes, I would. Low effort, easy, and good first impression.

Duh

I’d say Put on a collar or Business causal . Doesn’t hurt to make a good first impression and show that you’re serious.

Business casual, yes. I think going full penguin in your house is weird.

Thanks for the responses. Reason I asked is because the recruiter reached out to me initially and requested to speak ASAP lol
