Formal shirts or semi-formal shirts or casual collared half-sleeved shirts?

I am interviewing for a Bay Area tech firm for the first time, and I have no idea where I should fit on the scale.

Slacks and a button up

Sounds about right

I actually loved video interviewing in the winter for this reason - would do a nice collared quarter zip sweater and jeans and would feel totally comfortable in big tech.

Summertime seems like a different animal and unfortunately don’t have any good recs

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role?

Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
