Posted in the In House bowl about what to wear for a FAANG interview in the Bay Area (in person) and got replies that I think make more sense for men. Ladies, what would you wear to this sort of interview? I think a suit would be an absolute no-go but I don’t know how casual I should go on the business casual scale. My virtual interviewers were wearing tshirts and sweaters.

Not FAANG but I interviewed at a casual company with a similar culture to a tech startup, and I wore jeans, chunky loafers, a tshirt, and an oversized blazer (so more a fashion blazer than a suiting blazer). I basically went for modest and basic, but casual and a little trendy.

I’d probably not do jeans for an interview but aim for more business casual. You’ll likely be a bit overdressed but I think that’s fine for an interview. I’d do a simple, not overly formal work dress or slacks and a blouse. I definitely wouldn’t do a suit.

I’d do a dressier business casual. Even though they are super casual, you’re still there for a good, professional impression. When I interviewed I did a high rise, tailored wide leg pants (the A&F ones), a nice but a little colorful blouse, and heels. Was professional but not overly so and also true to my style 🤷‍♀️

This is where a cute but professional dress can be nice — you have room to show some style, it looks nice but not uptight

A chill work pant or slacks (can be in a fun color or texture, not a sweat pant or legging) short sleeved blouse and a fun necklace with a flat or loafer (or nice sneaker) should take you there

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.
Any advice on what to do?

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

While giving the tech interview as well as while having the HR discussion, I mentioned my expected CTC as 9-10 LPA(CTC). I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..
