Y’all still wearing suits for video interviews? Not a tech company. Wondering if I should just wear a dress shirt.

Interviewed for Sr Partner, CTO, and SVP roles in athleisure over last month. Nailed them all. That's been my anecdotal evidence.

Know your stuff, be engaged - don't look scruffy.

Generally I don’t dress up, might wear a casual button down shirt if it’s with a more senior person. Certainly no suit

Sometimes I did. I asked what dress code was and what would be appropriate for a video interview.

Wear shirt and tie.

I'll share your opinion with my fellow execs and get back to you about what they said.

Bro, do what you feel good about yourself. I had a video call with a CFO of a significant media management company, and they liked that I was wearing a jacket and a shirt!!

If you are unsure, wear a suit. A tie adds 30 seconds once you’ve buttoned your shirt and a coat 5 seconds after that. Can handle less than a minute of effort if there is any question related to attire.

I wear a button down and a jacket. Makes me feel comfortable.

So for the interviews I’m performing, I don’t care what the participant is wearing. I’ve had candidates wear suits and others more casual. It didn’t impact my impression at all. I personally think dress codes are dumb as long as what you are wearing isn’t offensive

Hello Fishes,
I got an opportunity from NTT Data BPO.
I am currently being hired for nightshift. Are there any chances for getting day shift or mid shift?
Or are there any chances to get a change in shift after getting on boarded?
Will it be okay to discuss this with HR?
Because during interview I said yes to Night Shifts.

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
