Stanford GSB interview: what to wear for virtual interview? It says here 'business attire'. Is shirt and coat without tie ok? Just a shirt might be too informal, while shirt and tie with coat might be too formal?

I’d personally do a shirt/tie at least. Jacket whichever you prefer. I personally feel more confident with a jacket on. Nobody will fault you for wearing a tie, but some alumni with a stick up their ass might think it’s too informal if you don’t

I wore a suit for my virtual interview last year. My interviewer was in a T-shirt so I felt overdressed. I also didn't get in and had to reapply this year so maybe that was the reason!

funny

Good luck this year! Have you received an interview invite yet?

Yes I have this impression that some alumni interviewers at GSB might be a little casual but I guess I'll err on the side of being over than under.

I went with suit and tie to be safe - the way I see it there’s little downside to dressing more formal, potentially some minor downside to being more casual (although we’re talking about the margin here, in the grand scheme of the decision as long as you wear at least a shirt and look presentable I doubt it makes much of a difference)

Where's the better employee culture - GitHub or CrowdStrike?

I'm pretty far along in the interview process with both. Neither balked at my target salary range. The benefits I care about most seem pretty comparable between the two companies. Work-Life-Balance and a healthy work culture are really important to me. Any insight on which company would be a better move if I receive offers from both? For context, I work in documentation/content.
