What is the average salary of a Senior 1?
Hi All. I have offers from MobiKwik and Target for the role of Data Engineer.
Which organisation should I go fo?r. Please consider factors like job security, work quality and learning, WL balance and office culture.
They're both offering similar CTC and location is preferable in case of MobiKwik. My YoE is 3.
Good idea to buy some more AAPL right now?

My body shape renders 98% of retail suit pants uncomfortable or awkward so professional dresse + blazer has been my go-to for everything (trial, interview, office, winter and summer).
Same here. Honestly I think it’s been a nice way to stand out in court in the right way. No judgment to those comfortable in a pantsuit, but a dress is a fun but professional change.
I will wear a suit unless told otherwise. At my last interview I wore jeans and a blouse but only bc the partners interviewing me told me to come in super casual.
I still wear a suit as well. Perhaps a pants / blazer but I would wear a jacket or blazer and if it seems overdressed can have a nice blouse underneath.
Suit. Or dress. But I would not forego a blazer unless specifically told to dress casual.
Suit, or nice dress and jacket over it.
If there’s two feet of snow I might be slightly more forgiving about sweaters and shoes, and so forth, or if it’s over a hundred degrees I might be okay with just a VERY nice professional dress, but otherwise, pretty much suit. Why take the chance that someone will think you’re not professional enough?
Not a ridiculous question at all! If anything more can be added, take a look at the firm’s website and how attorneys are dressed in their photos. That will give you a good idea. If you’re using a recruiter they can also get guidance from the firm in a way that doesn’t seem like a red flag coming from you.
Professional dresses work as well, blazer or no blazer
I don't think it's as strict as it used to be. You can go in a suit, or just slacks and a button down, I would even say a sweater and pants is fine as long as they are slacks and not jeans or leggings.
I always wear a suit
Suit for sure
I go in tailored pants, a nice blouse, and a blazer. Always try to figure out what the dress is, but I find that’s a safe bet when I’m getting mixed information. Anyone just come out and ask before the interview? I’d love to just worried it wouldn’t come off well.
I think most people would see it as a red flag if you reach out to the place you're interviewing at to ask if there's a dress code for interviews.
Pretty much everyone knows what the "default" dress is for interviews; wear that unless you've been explicitly told not to because of particularities of the specific industry or org you're planning to apply to
Suit.

Suit 100%
Wear a suit.
The job market has not been kind to a lot of people; don't shoot yourself in the foot over extremely insignificant things
I wear a professional dress and a blazer. I always bring my blazer. I would rather be overdressed than underdressed.
Skirt suit
Always suit. Better overdressed than underdressed for interviews.
Know your audience. Each firm has a culture. As a recruiting entity, we always give the candidate a recommendation for interviews. Of course, one of my clients is a fully remote firm with a "you do what works for you and your clients happy". I have had people very traditionally for their video interview and others that wore a polo. In that firm, I have to consider who the interviewer will be and align the candidate.
