Unless your going to sleep with him/her tonight, no need to shave your legs for the interview

You’re* almost had it bcg1

BCG 1, I see you're the type who only dresses from the waist up. I personally recommend wearing pants in case you have to stretch.

But in all seriousness, I'm assuming OP is male, in which case yes shave, no reason to look unprofessional. You represent your firm. If you aren't male, see comment above.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
