What do you know about the culture? If you don’t know much I’d probably err on the side of being overdressed.

No. Always over dress for any interview in my opinion.

I’d say true for the first two interviews, but beyond that try to level to the corporate culture.

Ask the recruiter what the dress code is.

Once I get my bonus (tomorrow) what are the drawbacks of telling my biglaw firm I interviewed with another firm and am strongly considering accepting their soon-to-be offer (at a higher salary)?

For context: the relevant partners at the new firm already told me there will be an offer, it just needs to be written up, and they want me as soon as possible.

The obvious biggest risk is my firm fires me and the new firm, for whatever reason, pulls the offer. Anything else I’m not considering?
