I didn’t wear a suit for my office (Denver). I’d say dress pants and a nice shirt. Or suit no tie. Open collar and jacket. GM of LA is pretty chill (I’ve met him a few times)

It’s always better to be overdressed than under. I would wear a suit. Can always take the suit jacket off

I have attended an interview last week which had both Technical and Manager Round. The next day, I got mail from a HR to upload the documents in iBegin portal and then the documents were 'Verified' later. Even after 4 days the status in iBegin portal still says as "Candidate registered against job". I am not getting any response from the HR about the current status.

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
