Is it recommended to stick with a traditional suit when interviewing for various industry positions? I am a female. Appreciate any input!

No

You have 2 options

1) pinstripe double breasted suit with peak lapel (double lapel holes), with 3 button holes on the cuff and 2 on the suit, blue shirt white wide Windsor spread contrasting collar, patek phillipe cufflinks

2) cocktail dress with gillters, and 11 inch hills from Christian Louboutin

Try to get some input from anyone you can at that company directly or via LinkedIn. I don't think a suit is necessary. The question is whether you can make a more effective impression in a suit or dressed differently. There is so much gender bias. Frankly hair and make up may matter more than attire. Depending on the company, I would consider taking their usually employee attire and dressing it up by one or two notches. You are a woman, so you know the HR ladies are going to judge you by your shoes and handbag - have to be nice, but not to extravagant/showy.

Suit is always the safest option. I think a nice dress and blazer is fine too

Ask the recruiter

Louboutins, Chanel bag, on fleek hair a must

Just wear whatever you feel confident and comfortable in. I couldn't give a shit about what you're wearing. Answer the questions in an articulate and thoughtful manner. Demonstrate you know your field.

Agree with MD1 - but would add that a jacket/blazer is a standard essential

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services.

If there is, e.g., a black attorney and a partner on a team, this never comes up.
