McKinsey folks: I have a virtual video interview. It's a no-brainer to be dressed in a suit with tie but I wasn't sure if it could be see as overkill. Any thoughts, guidance, recommendations?

No one will judge you for being overdressed but they may for being underdressed, better to be safe

It won’t negatively impact you, if that’s your concern. Although a shirt without the tie is most likely enough.

having said that, I’ve been interviewing candidates wearing a t-shirt recently 😂. I wear t-shirts every day, don’t feel like changing just for an interview (I interview mostly associates, consulting role)

Thank you.

wearing a suit jacket for a consulting video interview seems to be too much, but tbh just wear whatever you will feel the best in. Good luck!

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
