Congrats on interviews, what matters most is YOU and your personality. If a blazer makes you feel like a boss, do it. If you’d prefer to stay light n breezy with a blouse, great.

This is good advice! I feel more confident with a blazer, so went with it 🙌🏻

I wore a blazer and felt overdressed. My interviewers (alumni for one school and adcom for the other) were both wearing zip up Patagonia-like jackets

Haha,I had the exact same thing, but didn’t feel overdressed. It is an interview after all. You’d rather be a tad overdressed than underdressed.

I’m gonna wear a nice sweater that I would wear to work.

I didn’t wear a blazer to my Tuck interview at 7am on a Sunday but my interviewer did. I have worn a blazer to every interview since and have felt more comfortable

Depends on which school too I think! HBS instructed blazer I think while Kellogg said business casual

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
