I always do blazer & button up. Everybody I interview with (Product management/product owner, tech consulting roles) is usually in polo or athleisure. Yes - I feel overdressed, but it's better than coming off as too casual

Tech I don’t think matters as much. I’d say as long as the delta isn’t too great. Ie: if they’re straight up hoodie with graphics, a suit is a little bit off

Depends on the culture but you want to be taken seriously -- dress up and be more conservative. I find that to be safer and people send to take you more seriously.

Just broke into tech and never wore anything nicer than a button up flannel shirt! My interviewers (at big tech and start ups) wore everything from tshirts to hoodies to dress shirts.

I wouldn't ever wear a suit, unless the position/team/company has a reputation for it (for some reason). Fwiw I wore a shirt and a pullover, and it was completely fine. My interviewers wore t-shirts and hoodies, so I can see how weird it would've come across if I was dressed up in a formal suit.

I asked about internal mobility or leadership roles 2-3 years down the road in an interview, and the company told my recruiter that they think I'm a flight risk? Did I fuck up? How do you ask this?

Weirdest interview you ever had? I once interviewed a designer for a role at McCann Digital who's entire book was just hardcore gay porn websites. He was pretty proud of them too.

A potential candidate I was interviewing is a rabid Bernie/AOC devotee. Her social media posts make it clear she thinks Capitalists (like me, and our clients) are evil scum, and that's enough for me to say "Next." Am I wrong?

How do I deal with this: junior colleague on one of my teams right now for whom English is not her first language. Embarrassingly bad spelling and grammatical mistakes on decks. Can’t lead interviews with clients bc often they don’t understand her. PD says its all part of coaching and development. But I need to review content, NOT be her ESL tutor, which it feels like I am at the moment. PS. Yadda yadda, I get it: “languageism” is an extension of whiteness and I need to check my privilege.

Made a mistake of moving to US 10 years ago thinking this was the best country! Finally after looking for a good job opportunities for 3 years and several rounds of interviews, moving to Switzerland for good. Living in this country has been hell and for everyone who calls it the best country. God bless you. Good luck everyone living in US. Hope to see y’all never. Also goodbye Daddy D. Thanks for the memories!
