Good luck with the interview too!!

No

Yup.. can’t harm!
And you always go with who you are, than the other firm!

If you're even questioning it, I'd err on the side of more formal. Go with the tie

Yes, wear a tie. I interviewed for principal position at the consulting firm that’s more casual than PwC and had a tie.

That’s what I was looking for — leaning tie unless it would come off as weirdly stiff or something.

Thanks

Absolutely not. Do wear a boss sports coat.

Definitely wear a tie

Wear a tie and a sports jacket not a suit. Little more casual

You are never overdressed, bring your best game!

I didn’t wear one to mine

Don’t want to come off like I’m complaining but also don’t want this to be the reason I don’t move forward. Any advice appreciated…

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

Hello Fishes,
I cleared the Level 2 interview as an Appian developer. Could you please let me know what Level 3 interview would be about? Thr HR said it's an interaction session with the panel. But should I be prepared technically?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
