Only if it’s Wife Beater Wednesday.
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?

Yup

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.

No pants required

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.

Suit and tie. No pants. Ultra confident booster.

Yeah, better to dress up than to dress down during an interview.

Hello! I just passed the patent bar a couple of months ago so I'm applying to my first patent agent roles. However, I only have a masters in law, not a JD, so I have no summer associate experience, and every position wants experience first. How did some of you other patent agents get your first positions if you've never worked in a law firm before? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Common feedback : You're very strong in Js but seems like you're not day to day coding in React (which is absolutely true).
In current org work pressure is quite much, tough to practice seperately. (Theoretical knowledge of react is good, but need practical knowledge)
Requested my org to assign me react proj, they didnt.
