Is wearing a tie to a zoom interview weird or overkill? Does it depend on round?

No. Dress like you want the job. For some it may be overkill but unless you’re wearing a tuxedo or something weird, nobody is going to call you out for being overdressed.

I do a lot of interviews; I haven’t seen a tie in 18 months

No one will ding you for being overdressed for an interview. That being said, more likely than not your tie won’t matter in the decision room.

Probably depends on the company and role, but I’d probably say that it’s not necessary

I think it’ll show well

I’ve just been wearing a shirt and jacket with a nice pocket square.

Ask in the HR bowl; they will know best what the most current interview etiquette looks like.

Some people may be bothered that it’s missing, but no one will be annoyed that it’s there.

Put on a nice sports jacket and a nice shirt. Skip the tie - it’ll make you look like someone who’s pretty tightly wound. I find it rather off-putting, feels like someone is trying too hard.
