I would wear a suit and just respond well whenever my interviewers would jokingly make fun of me for it
C2, probably not. I didn’t see the comment on this being a tech job before my comment
Suit and tie. 1000%.
Why is it virtual? If the interviewer is wfh then i don’t think you should wear a suit or tie. Maybe not even a blazer. If the interviewer is at the office, then I think wearing a blazer or jacket would be safe but a full suit would still seem too formal.
Long sleeve shirt with a Patagonia vest
I wore a suit for my zoom interviews. It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed, especially as a lawyer. Some of my interviewers had full 5 o’clock shadows and old sweatshirts, but didn’t mind my suit.
Same with me. Two of my interviewers I had worked for in the past so when they made fun of my suit I made fun of their sweatshirts. I got the job
I don’t think a suit hurts you.
A lot of commentators here are right, many in-house rules are just looking to see if you fit with their vibe and are probably more laid back.
You can get away with a nice sweater, button up without a tie, but even in my current role I dressed suit and tie. They were laid back and only said “you can dress down for your other interviews, we’re pretty casual”. Still got the job despite dressing formal. If it’s not a super formal industry (finance, insurance), I think you’re ok with the nice sweater and button down.
What’s the company culture?
Open-collar shirt, no tie, jacket
Pro
I just did multiple in-house interviews, I wore a blazer in my final round but even then I was over dressed. By no means look like a slob but I think if you wear a nice sweater and are well groomed it’ll be fine. To some extent a lot of in-house is making sure you vibe with the other team members/business so I would caution against going full firm interview on them (unless it’s a huge department). Confidence is everything, just don’t look like a slob.
