Never a mistake to overdress for an interview. Put on dress pants and a jacket, dial it back once you have the job and have the dress code figured out.

Totally agree with @AD1! Always better to overdress than underdress! I also thinks it helps give confidence in the interview:) Good luck!!!

Higher end dark colored jeans that look like nice slacks should work. I have a pair of silk cotton jeans that I've had for 10 years. Even after numerous washes they still shine and do the job.

Jeans only chill if they're dark and you pair that up with a jacket and decent shoes. But then you're probably tucking a shirt into jeans, so 1 step forward 2 steps back.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

Hello,fishes!(1YOE-SDET)
I'm trying to attend several interviews. My current CTC is <10LPA, therefore even if I switch jobs and am offered a package that is 40%–50% higher than my current CTC, my new income won't be much higher than 12LPA–13LPA. However, I am on the lookout for even better ones. So, if there is a negotiation, can I mention to HR that I already have an offer of at least 12 lpa and persuade them to give me more? Will this ruse succeed? Or will they demand to show an offer letter?
