You should wear a suit, but a suit with question marks all over it like The Riddler

Suit, but with chaps instead of pants.

I wear what I would normally wear to the office on a more polished day. So nice jeans and an oversized button up and ankle boots or leather shoes. Or a dress and sneakers. I think getting too dressed up (like in a pant suit) is a bad look. You want to look respectful but also cool and like you can hang.

Nice enough to have dinner at a semi-swanky restaurant but cool enough to go to the local dive bar next door. Contrast is your friend.

Button down/flannel untucked, and chino pants

Update: I wore the question mark suit and even went the extra mile and dyed my hair orange. The CD thought my Jim Carrey impression was “spot on” and offered me the position on the spot without even looking at my book.

Or l got to office only to find out my interview is actually on Wednesday and feel like a real turkey...

I’ve worn jeans, t-shirt and sneakers to every job interview I have ever had. I figure that I may as well present myself as they would see me in the working environment.

Wear what you'd wear to a client presentation. You're creative so an all black suit and tie is too corporate. A sports jacket/blazer is good, button down perhaps, tie is optional. Nice jeans or pants are fine. If you show up too casual, it may not count against you, but people like to see that you can be presentable to clients, too. Or a Riddler suit, that works too.

I’ve worn a suit and tie to most of my interviews. In general I view that interviews are a Big Deal and want to show that I take it seriously and am respecting the interviewers time.

My most recent in-person interview I did a suit but no tie. I’m absolutely not a suit person and would reject an offer if they required me to wear one or even a tie. Clothes don’t make your work better.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
