Wear what you wear in la everyday. I’d rather feel like I’m hiring an interesting outsider. And for gods sake don’t wear a blazer

What’s wrong with a blazer? I love them, they look good on me and it’s clearly just part of my style.

Maybe bring a cardigan or blazer with you. It’s cold there so you might find having the extra layer keeps you more comfortable. If you get there and feel it’s too much just hang it with you stuff in the coat closet (those are a thing back east). If the front desk doesn’t show you where to hang your things, ask politely and I’m sure they will oblige.

that sounds fine to me, provided the collared shirt is classy.

I wish it didn’t matter. I always have to dress down in interviews because my normal attire is “too dressy” for a creative. And I’m like “I’m sorry I’m an Art Director and like fashion???"

Mixed comments here. When I’m interviewing potentials, I tell them to dress in what they feel comfortable in. Unless that’s board shorts and flip flops. Then stick to the ‘black uniform’ - can’t go wrong with that.

Dark jeans

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family.

Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).
