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?

Non-consulting, Manager role.

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!

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
