Invited to a recruiting/networking session for an analyst level role at a Bain Capital. Excuse my naivete, but is business professional (full suit) the expectation here? Unfortunately my only well fitting suit was torn recently so trying to see if I can get away with another outfit

What's the setting?

Can't go wrong with a polo, blazer, dark jeans, and loafers

Don’t know if I agree with VP1 - a polo feels way underdressed for a PE event. I would go with a suit, perhaps no tie

like

You’ll need a suit eventually if youre looking to work at bain so id suggest just buying a new one and not risking looking unprofessional
Doesnt have to be $$$ but as long as it can get you through networking and interviews

You should probably rent a suit if you can. Why take a risk?

The event is tomorrow so trying to figure out my options quick!

Hi, I applied for a BFSI domain consultant position at TCS through Linkedin. Next day two people took my interview and said they are good to go with my profile. I might have one more tech round and HR will contact. After 4-5 days HR sent Ibegin link to create my profile and update details. Then it's been 3 weeks no other update. Whenever I contact the person who took my interview he keep saying its in process please wait. Is it normal procedure in TCS? How long usually takes.

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair.

All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
