I'm interviewing for a strategy director-level role at Intuit in SF. What would you wear to the interview? Is full suit and tie too formal?

Am I just old school in thinking that a suit is always the safe bet?

Really depends, if interviewing at a place with tech/startup culture, suit can be a real misstep

Why don't you ask the recruiter about the culture and dress accordingly...

A suit for a first impression will signal you’re not a cultural fit

Suit for interview and first day impression, then conform to culture, as appropriate. Tie vs sweater under jacket (winter), depending on generation and job type? Director level may be client facing and should mirror client expectations not firms. 😊

PD1, this is not a client facing consulting role.

like

dark jeans and sport coat. Ditch the coat if you find your interviewer/s aren’t wearing one once you get there.

I would wear the suit and no tie at least. But probably tie. And then acclimate to culture once you get the job. My home office is fairly laid back during week (no ties or jackets), but if someone showed up dressed like that I would judge negatively

I wouldn’t go full suit. For sure, no tie

Director level requires a suit for sure.

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
