Business casuals always safe.

Agreed, pretty much the standard across FAANG

You're usually safe with business casual. Don't forget personal grooming too, it really makes a big difference.

T-shirt? Or a hoodie? I mean, that's what you'll wear for work anyway, right? And probably the interviewer will wear that too

Can confirm. Had 2 interviews recently. Manager wore a t shirt, senior engineer wore a hoodie.

I wore a short sleeve button up/collared shirt last week. I also wore khaki pants, just in case my pants showed at all.

Button up collared shirt is always a good idea. For a Big 4, I wore a casual blazer, but that probably wasn't necessary.

I always feel more comfortable overdressing because I get paranoid about looking underdressed. I think a button up collared shirt is good.

I would throw in to check your Zoom background choice, and your lighting.

Can't go wrong with a collared shirt or polo

Honestly, I’d say dress as yourself. If you’re not comfortable wearing a suit or even business casual, you don’t want to work for a company that requires it. It’s a great first filter. ;)

Please wear a shirt that isn't mesh or see-through.
That's all.

Am a phlebotomist and was only offered 2.5k at parkway Pantai when my previous company offered 3k. What's more is during the interview I had already informed that I wasn't looking for a raise beyond 3k and that I would appreciate them just paying my last drawn. Still no word from them.

If the same company is hiring for two very similar but different positions and you qualify for both, do you apply to both? Additional caveat is that I interviewed for one of them last week. No word yet on whether I made it to the next round. Would gladly accept either position, but not sure how it would look if I apply for the second position while still being considered for the first. On the flip side, I don't want to miss the window on the second position while waiting to hear back...thoughts?

Interviewed for a senior strategist role and as we were griping about how clients can be, I said “oh yeah well the dream job is to never work with clients again right?!” And the recruiter just got back to me that “the role requires client interaction so that’s a dealbreaker”. I feel so dumb for getting comfortable during an interview to joke like that.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

My career counselor has seemed kind of cold towards me lately and I’m not sure why. Previously, she’s been someone I could count on to sponsor me, but she seems eager to get off our check in calls and hasn’t advocated for me in the ways I would’ve expected. For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine
