This would not be appropriate on Tie-day Friday. Always make sure to dress appropriate.

I would still wear a suit and tie. Why give anyone a reason not to hire you?

I mean usually wear a dress and a blazer 😂

Lose the tie. I just finished a round of interviews and only wore a jacket and blazer. Most people I met with either wore just a button down, a polo, or a t-shirt so the blazer was a good touch.

Wore a suit and tie for my first interview, but noticed my interviewers we’re wearing hoodies, polos, etc so I toned it down.

Only wore button downs for my interviews after that. Might’ve even worn a polo for one. Still got the job.

The most dressed up people I spoke to were partners who were wearing a dress shirt at most and normally just a casual gingham button down.

Depends on company/role/region. Something old school like banking? Suit and tie. Tech on the west coast? Button up at most. It’s all about your audience

You’d be surprised. I once worked for an hippy-esque executive director at non-profit who would refuse to hire anyone not in a suit and tie.

I debated not wearing one to the interview because they seemed a bit loopy. Glad I ended up wearing full suit.

Hi,
I recently gave 3rd round of interview with Gamma and it went very smoothly.
I answered every question even interview ended on a very good note andI was confident that I will definitely make it to the next round then after an hour later I got the rejection email.

I still am in shock what could have gone wrong. Seriously what could have gone wrong.

Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

So I'm in a weird space at the moment. I've been interviewing with a lot of agencies in the past couple of months, and I keep getting the same response of "I need more agency experience."
