If I'm on cam (3 times since March?) I wear a t-shirt. Otherwise I'm in boxers

I was on a call the other day and they asked me to turn on the camera (1:1), and I just said yea I don't got cloths on so we'll just talk. They laughed. I laughed. The world was happier.

Camera on: clothes are probably required. Looking clean couldn’t hurt but you can fake that with some water and a comb.

Camera off: anything goes

What are these “pants” of which you speak?

I've heard that you actually don't want to wear a suit/tie or business formal attire during WFH zoom calls because it doesn't look natural. Think collared shirt for men and sweater/blouse for women is fanciest you want to go. someone comment if you feel differently!

like

It's all culture oriented. Banks still expect suit and tie (some of them).

I’ve turned my camera on about 4 times in the last 9 months... and wear hoodies and t shirts every day. Totally depends on the group / project culture but @D1’s comment is spot on

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role.

Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
