Depends on culture of firm you’re interviewing at. Be better dressed than your interviewer, but not uncomfortably better dressed.

Wear a tie if they’re formal, not if they’re in a sweatshirt.

There's no downside to wearing one, potential (but minimal) downside to not

I wore a tie with a button down and a suit jacket and my sweat pants lol. Doesnt hurt being presentable up top.

For video interviews I typically have gone suit jacket and white shirt with no tie. Tie seems very formal for wfh

I would personally not want to hire someone wearing a tie on a zoom call.

No, suit jacket and button down.

I never used one, even during in person. Potentially because, someone recommended early in my career “if a firm rejects you because you were not properly dressed, then probably the firm does not care for your talent”. I know this might not be the right approach, but I have 100% interview turnaround rate so far.

Button down and jacket, tie is your preference

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
