What is the recommended attire if you are interviewing remotely (virtually) ? Should I wear a suit and tie or is that overkill?

Business casual is fine (and top only matters, obviously)

I usually wear a polo with gym shorts and sandals heh

A tie may be too formal if you are not in a sales leader position or account executive. A casual suit (jacket is a different color than pants) is a nice combo.

I’ll go with looking smart in an office shirt and if not feeling too confident on the day, put a suit on to mask the feeling.

A shirt with buttons generally suffices.

More important is the setting: somewhere quiet, with a neutral background, e.g. not someone running around naked. Make sure your camera and mic work with the specific meeting tech used IN ADVANCE.

If interviewing over zoom, I wear a shirt & tie but don’t bother with pants.

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
