Do you wear white socks? I would ding anyone I see wearing white socks in a suit

Strategy role at a middle market bank. This must have been my fifth ding after final rounds in the past year 😔

They did say they're impressed though! Isn't that good?

^not unless you were wearing a white suit, then you have to wear white socks. That doesn't take into account the fact that you would
be dinged for the white suit instead

What co?

Ugh! That hurts.

Have you figured out why? Five is a lot, especially in the final round. I would see if anything you're doing in person is coming off badly.

In most cases, it was an experience mismatch. One or two of them were perhaps not being as strong in the analytical / case exercise 😪

Noted. White... overall bad approach. That's why we match our socks to the outfit and not vice versa I suppose.

Would this fly for my next interview? http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/revengeristsconsortium/images/6/64/Matthew_lesko_list_view.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110928080721

You'd be surprised. I'm currently in b school. No offense to the international community, but you'd be shocked at how many white socks you see during interview season.

D2 love me some boilerplate 🍽
