I devolved from dress shirts, to polos, to athleisure wear, to t shirts, to not turning on my camera ever lol

Pretty much how I feel

Wear pants - while it’s a rather BS move, apparently some employers are asking interviewers to stand up to show their professional attire

likefunny

That's bs lol

Better to overdress than underdress. Since it's an interview, I wouldn't dress differently than if it was in person.

You can dress however you'd like. Just don't complain if you don't end up getting the job because you didn't dress up.

Always wear a suit to an interview.
Hard stop.

I only had a video interview with EY but i wore a t shirt the entire time and got the job

SC for cyber security. The other B4/5 didn’t have video interviews. The folks at EY were all wearing polos from what I remember, but like more casual polos. I just wore a plain colored v neck.

Think of it this way - every little thing matters in interviews. If you didn’t end up progressing through the process, would you want to be left thinking it might have been bc you underdressed and left the impression that you weren’t serious about it? Vs doing everything you could

If I am interviewing at any consulting firm, I am wearing a suit & tie.

like

suit jacket and tie, or just suit jacket?

Suit jacket and tie. No pants required.

I recently interviewed in a dress shirt and black cardigan and got an offer. It’s a pain ironing the shirt, but going the extra mile is worth it even if it may not always seem like it.

Feel like the obvious answer is just a button down of some sort with a collar... is it that hard to walk 5 feet to closet and put one on for 30 mins

Got the offer in a solid t-shirt thanks everyone ‼️

Shoutout @d2!

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
