This is a question for all the hiring managers, what do you think is the best attire for an in-person and an online interview? I feel like you can get away with a semi-formal look like a polo shirt in an online interview but for in-person interviews you have to have a formal attire like a dress shirt, formal trousers, and dress shoes.

For men, best attire will always be a suit no matter the interview. I strongly believe that even if you will never wear a suit on the job ever. Present your best self so you make the best first impression, literally no downsides to wearing a suit to any interview, virtual or in person!

Better to overdress the underdress. Most hiring managers recognize that you wouldn’t look like that every day. But I do think something like dress pants and a dress shirt is enough if it’s a company where you know most people wear a T-shirt and jeans.

Highly depends on the role. The days of putting on the monkey suit for engineering roles are long gone. Business casual is more than appropriate. For BAs and manager roles a suit is still the best attire.

Attire matters, but being well-prepared is key. I've been practicing coding questions and real interview scenarios on prachub.com, which helps more than just looking good.

I have noticed that other minority bowls (based on ethnicity) often have posts about racism they faced and how they are lagging behind because they belong to a certain group. I don’t want to debate on that here. What I want to ask is that I have rarely seen such posts about racism in this bowl. Is it because we don’t face it as much as some of the other races do? Or is there just lesser awareness about reporting it? Or something else? Hoping for constructive discussion.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
