Job interviews and nail polish/nail art— When interviewing for corporate marketing positions in 2021 are pale pink nails still the recommendation or are we at the point we can go a little more fun/creative?

I was not aware that pale pink was the standard lol. I wear whatever colors I want.

Probably should’ve put sarcastic indicating quotes around that. Appreciate the input though!

I wear whatever I want. If they don't hire me because of nail polish or my tattoos, then it's a pretty shallow company culture for me. My skills are the same whatever I'm wearing on my body. If appearance is part of the "fit", then no thanks.

I think it’s less about color and more about shape/length. Interviewed a junior writer with long neon coffin nails in person (pre-covid), and the male director I was interviewing with made a dumb “so how do you type with those?” crack mid-interview. I complimented her and she played it off, but I’m fairly sure my director thought her manicure was a knock against her professionalism. Insert major eye roll, but … figured I’d share.

Ugh. Long nails gross me out. The sound, the look…

Are you interviewing in person? Doubt they would see much on a video call if not.
Nothing wrong with fun/creative nails

Good luck!

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
