I’ve got a lateral interview coming up on Zoom. What level of dress is appropriate?Should I wear a suit? At work, I’m usually in a t-shirt for internal calls and business casual for external calls. For reference, interviewing with the secondary market west coast HQ of a fairly progressive big/mid-sized firm

Dress as you would for an in person interview. That doesn’t necessarily mean suit and tie though depending on the firm it might (e.g. I would for Latham but not Quinn).

Wait I had no idea that some people don’t wear suits to in-person big law interviews. I’m in NY now, and I definitely wore suits to all my interviews and I didn’t even think twice about it. How do you make the decision? I don’t think the firm I’m interviewing at has any particular reputation (like Quinn might, according to Google)

I did my interviews with west coast tech firms in a dress shirt and jacket, no tie. Think it worked fine. My interviewers were often in hoodies or workout gear. Hah.
