Should I wear a suit (+tie) for a Google interview?

Read somewhere online that wearing business formal might actually be a bad move...

Product analytics/strategy role, thanks!

Lol no. Wearing a suit shows you don’t understand the culture. You will never wear a suit on the job.

I’d suggest a crisp plain t-shirt, polo, or button down. No tie or jacket.

(I am giving interviews in Hawaiian shirts and 5” baggies these days.)

Extremely helpful!

It's like you already knew the answer to this question when before you asked

It's called due diligence

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Good morning, I am a recent under-grad and working as a BI Developer. I’m looking at transitioning to a project or product manager role and I have 1+ YOE. I know the job market is not that great as of now but I’ve applied to countless PM roles and have had no success. I want to know from other PM’s if it’s necessary for me to get a PMP certification before I can get a job or it’s not that of a requirement?
