I have several interviews coming up over Zoom for a role at F500 healthcare company. The first meeting the hiring manager was in a polo and I was suit and tie. Should I keep that up or are people doing just a button down and jacket these days? Haven’t interviewed in a while and I was always a suit and tie person.

I was in the same situation. Went with a button down. The interviewer was a senior director in a Polo.
I think suit+tie or even a jacket is overdressing.

Suit and tie if that’s the culture normally.

All good - yeah I think I’ll just keep up the full dress. Usually it doesn’t hurt.

I has a round of interviews last week and wore a dress shirt only, when the interviewers were wearing polos and t-shirts. Tie and jacket might be a bit overboard but it all depends on the type of company.

Had a zoom interview with a Hiring Manager last week and I went full suit and tie. Guy was in a t shirt in his kitchen. Told me at the end that he liked how I made the effort to wear the suit. Also at a Healthcare company.

I mean he seemed pretty appreciative.
