Trying to exit Finance and have an interview at McKinsey - What should I wear to the interview? E-mail says "business casual" but not sure if I should go full suit and tie or just suit and no tie.

If it McK NY then suit up. Better to be overdressed

Was an interviewer at McK in my previous life. Wear a tie, seriously. Don‘t bother that none of the interviewers will. They will still silently acknowledge you dressing up. And now focus on the actual preparation which will determine the other 99% of your interview success. Mate..

Wear a suit and if it turns out to be business casual then just stick your tie in your bag.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
