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!

That seems low to me.

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years? Also what role are you in now? I really like EY and the company. I’d like to look at moving to an internal role but I’m worried I’ve priced myself out (currently at around 140k comp in LCOL).
