Is men's warehouse or Macy's tailored fine for a ba/associate/asc1 suit? Or do I really need to go spier & mcckay / suitsupply.... I don't want to spend so much on something I might never wear at mbb...

I’m almost 30 - every suit I have (3) is from Joseph A Bank on a buy 1 get 2 free deal. I got them slightly tailored by the free service at the store.
I’ve worn a suit 2 days total at BCG, and both times I was overdressed.

Yes, it is fine

Once a year or less.

I recommend suit supply. The product is visibly better than what you’d get from mens warehouse. I would not go overboard on higher priced fabrics though. Something in the 350-650 range works fine. It’s important to have a suit you feel confident in for various “life” events - weddings, work parties, client meetings.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?

I am trying to move to being a Data Scientist for tech companies. Currently working as a Analytics Manager on the ad agency side and don't directly manage anyone at the moment. My analytics team is very small, just me and the director.
