May want to skip the interview, I think we all already know how this is going to go...

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.

Tie and T-shirt, gives the respect while keeping it casual.

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)
