You actually don’t need pants. I hold webmeeting with jeans and a dress shirt all the time because they only see my shirt.

For lighting, have it behind your camera so that it will hit you directly. Look at the picture and adjust till you get it the way you want

I do them all the time. If you are a lady wear a nice blouse (bright like coral) with black blazer. You need a pop of color. Turn it on and see how you look. Your makeup should be a bit more than usual. Men, I guess a nice tie.

What do you do for lighting?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
