It always depends on where. Also, what department? Buttoned up and professional is subjective but a mandatory if your going for a senior role. If you went through a recruiter they should give you this intel. If you know anyone at the in-house agency, ask or get some perspective.

I’ve worked at two agencies within the same parent company and they were radically different. At my current gig they still wear bad suits out of the 90s and 80s.

As a default I would say business casual if you're not sure.

Not jeans, but not stuffy matching suit. I've usually work black pants, a nice but sometimes fun top (last time I wore a floral silk blouse) and a fitted blazer. A dress and a blazer can work, too.

I'm a woman if that matters 🤷‍♀️

Ask them. Some in-house agencies have dress codes, others are very relaxed.

I have an interview for a relatively new law firm early next week. However, upon doing more research about them, I noticed that their website has only a black-and-white website about only what the law firm is about.

My questions are:

Is this a red flag?
How do you guys prepare for interviews specifically with law firms that have little to some information on their website and Glassdoor?

Thank you so much in advance!

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

I’m on a 6-month extendable contract and my manager really likes me; she always says that they want to convert me ASAP, however they don’t have the budget right now to hire me. They plan to hire me by the end of the year (7-month mark) but that means I won’t get paid for 3 days during thanksgiving and a whole week during December. How can I push for them to make me permanent as soon as possible? This is my first job out of college so I’m not sure how to approach this situation.
