I'm not sure. I come from the belief that I'd rather be too dressed up than under dressed. I think what you mentioned sounds good to me!

Hmm I’d say do the blazer…I did when interviewing there and made it through multiple rounds and wore a blazer to all of them (all were virtual). I don’t think you can go wrong showing that you’re taking things seriously. In my opinion, and especially in this crazy job market, it is better to be overdressed than under.

Best to go with the top hat. Can't be afraid to make an impression

Personally, I’d skip the tie.

Yes for sure too formal, especially if virtual. If in-person, I would focus on having pressed pants and nice shoes (no wedge toe Walmart crap) ahead of a tie or coat.

Tie not needed. If it’s virtual, a shirt or polo is good.

Dress for the role you want, not the one you have: If you aspire to be a high powered consultant, project an image of professionalism and competence.

No one I have interacted with in Salesforce proserv routinely wears blazers, except for client onsites where the customary dress code is dressier. Sales people wear blazers all the time, however.

I feel like blazer no tie is the route to go for virtual

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
