Wear a suit and tie...I can almost guarantee that the Partner won't be wearing a suit on a Friday unless it's NYC or Chicago and they're visiting a client. They may even be wearing jeans as we are jeans every day now. However...you should still wear a suit and tie...

So it's theoretically possible that there's a partner who will respect your tielessness, but seems way more likely to piss someone off. Be smart OP.

Applied here and interviewed (presumably to the final round) and didn’t end up with an offer, I think due to the specific experience I’ve had so far.
