If you’re a creative and have great work, and a good personality, you should be fine. I wouldn’t want to work for a place that wouldn’t hire me on my pants. I mean I’m not going to come in old sweatpants, but my job most people wear joggers all the time.

Wear yourself - only wear something that makes you feel badass but also is work appropriate. You need to be confident and the last thing you need is worrying about how you look.

My old boss didn't hire someone simply because they showed up in a suit. Wouldn't have been my approach, but what I've gathered is that it's a balancing act. Dress clean, not formal, not sloppy.

Hi fishes
Need suggestion. Got an offer with a product company A through referrel with just 70% hike. They initially told me to not look for any offer as it is a referral.

Now, I got another offer with around 150% in another product company B. Joining date in both are by next week. How to politely reject the offer from Company A ( they won't match the new offer). I am afraid if there is any consequences.

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?

Please guide me 🙏

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
