Type of attire recommended for zoom interview with GC for an in-house role? Not big tech with a more obvious casual dress standard. Button-down shirt enough? Jacket?

I wear a shirt, tie, and jacket. While my interviewers have sometimes been casual, I’d rather be overdressed than underdressed. I was complimented on my attire during one interview.

Collared shirt, jacket, no tie, shorts/jeans/pajamas

This is how I dressed for every interview last year

I wear a suit jacket and blouse on top and leggings on bottom if I’m the interview candidate regardless of the fact that most interviewers are dressed pretty casually. Also, from the perspective of someone who was hiring/interviewing for our team throughout the pandemic, people definitely noticed if candidates didn’t bother with a suit for interviews. Personally I cared less than others but it was something multiple ppl pointed out if candidates were dressed casually.

I’m in the process of interviewing at a tech co rn. My first interviewer was wearing a polo and the second was wearing a button down with a Columbia jacket. It’s not a big tech company either, but as long as they have the standard tech company vibe (I.e, unlimited PTO, possibly a pet friendly office, beer on tap kind of thing) I think business casual will be perfectly fine

My go to is a sport coat and button up shirt and sweatpants. Have yet to be asked to stand up in an interview, so I continue to be casual on the bottoms.

A1 mind blown. I just ordered one!

I would go full suit and tie but check in with your recruiter if worried. Generally can't go wrong going more formal especially when interviewing with a lawyer. They'll know that is the norm in the industry.

It can be trickier when interviewing with non-lawyers but luckily that's not the case here.

I always go full suit. Same as I do generally with new emails to professionals I’ve never interacted with, put yourself out there as clean and polished and let them indicate whether they want to dress down/use first names.

Jacket

Casual jacket and button up. No tie.

I had three rounds for an in house position and I wore a suit every time. Interviewer always dressed casual. The in house recruiter even told me to not wear a suit for the last interview. Accepted the position so it can’t hurt.

Hello, I was wondering about which companies usually hire for entry level ServiceNow role?

I’m currently doing large scale Oracle ERP implementation and I am having difficulty finding companies that hire entry level roles. I switch fields recently so I only have around 9 months of experience and I find that most ServiceNow position requires 2+year in ServiceNow :/

Background - I recently got the Certified System Administrator for SNow, PMP and CSM

Any insight appreciated, thanks!

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
