Oh gawd...idc if it's 100 or -5 there is no way in hell id wear them...sans hose all the way

No hose, no bra and no panties - the job is yours

I say wear them. You never know how much of a stickler your interviewer is and if you don't get it you'll always wonder just a little if it was not wearing panty hose

Makes my legs look nice and I like a separator between my shoes and feet so I do!

When I was a manager I had an analyst who would wear no hose and flash me accidentally all of the time. My eyes were always looking up not down and I'm not a perv so it was never an issue, but man was she bad at wearing skirts. She also was mega nerd and maybe just not used to skirts or something.

like

Nope nope nope. And D1 I wouldn't want to work for a company that would let panty hose factor into a hiring decision anyway. I totally understand a company not hiring a male or female because he/she came to the interview dressed entirely inappropriately. But if she's wearing business professional and they want to fault her for lack of hose - that's insane

like

Wear them. I agree with D1. Early days at the firm, I had to go into the office and was told by someone hose were required even in Florida even in summer with skirts or dresses. You never know who the stickler is/will be or who is/will be looking.

No hose but yes to hoes 🕵

like

As long as your dress/skirt is an appropriate length I say no

like

Def not. Seriously?

...really don't think the interviewer will care

like

No

Nope, not necessary.

It's 2016 not necessary.

You don't need hose, wear an appropriate skirt and closed toed shoes and it shouldn't make a difference

No hose

Wear only hose and no skirt

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
