I’m interviewing at a really casual creative agency today and I want to wear something that is definitely put together but still shows my style. How far is too far? Sneakers okay if they’re clean?

Good luck with your interview.

Why not wear sneakers esp if you have some fly retro Jordans? I’d actually give you extra points if you wore TBWAs air max Gundam. But just say no to Yeezys

Heck yeah! If you have fly sneakers, show ‘em off. Do a button down/sweater/shirt with solid pants. Something sharp but funky.

Yes. You should always have a pair of sneakers you keep solely for interview and client meetings, preferably black.

Oh god. Just stop

Check their client roster before selecting your sneakers. Negative points for wearing a competitor sneaker brand. (Example: don’t wear adidas to WK)

@TBWA1 it went well!! Thanks for convincing me on the sneakers, they were a good call. I felt very comfortable in my own skin and I feel pretty good about it over all. Mostly just trying not to get ahead of myself and wait for their response! ☺️

Really casual creative agency? You could probably wear shorts and flip flops

OP, if you're just seeking validation against the voice in your head that has doubts if this is appropriate, TBWA1 is your guy! Good luck with the interview today, let us know how it goes 👌

uplifting

Define sneakers, lol
If the running or workout kind, that's a No. If you mean dark colored, sporty shoes or walking "sneakers", sure. Overall, when in doubt, don't take unnecessary risks, but I also doubt people will focus on your feet of you're male and not wearing bright lime green or red sneakers, haha

How did it go OP?

Great bud. Nice to hear it. Remember you’re the subject matter expert, with unique capabilities and you’ve got to make it approachable for them...the more approachable you are (aka comfortable in your own skin), the easier it will be to get everyone speaking the same language. I’m sure you crushed

Anyone faced the same that we felt that we have given our best such gut feeling that we already made it & then we received the mail that we have not selected for the same! It hurts right 🫥

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
