I would go for the tuxedo t shirt that says your formal but you still like to party. If you're not up for that, suit without tie would probably be best if you're specifically told business casual in the invite. But make it something a bit more stylish, maybe something with a pattern and a very high end shirt. Good luck with your interview!

Suit and no tie. Stick a thin (ie not bulky) tie in your pocket. Arrive a few minutes early. If everyone had a tie, you can hop into the restroom and put on your tie.

Friday is a little more casual. I'd follow the recruiters lead and ask him/her for clarification if needed.

Do exactly what M1 said - the person interviewing you ( at least at Bain) won't have a tie but it doesn't matter whether you do or not

What day is the interview?

B1, Friday

Depends on the MBB

So if an e-mail says "business casual" it means tie for McKinsey and no tie for Bain/BCG?

Will do, thanks B1!

Suite no tie. Or sport coat and slacks

What the eff? Which MBB interviews without ties??

Hi all, wanted to share a couple things that have been real blessings to me and boosters to my faith lately in case they are helpful for anyone else: 1) CBSM - it’s a 4-year course that takes you though the whole Bible.

He has both long form/interview podcasts and also very short Bible study podcasts where he analyzes a verse or two and provides Aquinas’ view on it.

I’m new to Canada and currently working as a BA for the same company I worked for, in India. However, the workload is a lot after I moved here and the pay scale is comparatively low. I started job search and currently negotiating salary with an early stage startup for PM position. Problem is, they’re very keen on comparing my current salary and fixing my compensation rather than fixing it based on my performance in interviews and their budget. Is this normal practice here in Canada?

Hello, everyone!

I have an interview for a relatively new law firm early next week. However, upon doing more research about them, I noticed that their website has only a black-and-white website about only what the law firm is about.

My questions are:

Is this a red flag?
How do you guys prepare for interviews specifically with law firms that have little to some information on their website and Glassdoor?

Thank you so much in advance!

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
