Suit and tie
Bro seriously? I'm at my mom's and don't have any of my suits with me lol. How has this question not been asked yet.
Bro seriously - just wear a suit. Have you watched TV lately when someone is broadcasting from home looking professional with a good camera in a suit versus the unshaven non suit wearing correspondent? Yeah - you want to make a good impression.
You can get a suit top cheap from Zara or Nordstrom Rack and another tie and white shirt won’t set you back much. Just put forth some effort.
.
bump this is a good question, who knows
Dress like you would for a video or in person interview in a normal situation.
No one, especially in "regular" (ie. non-quant) finance, will ding you for wearing a suit.
Good Luck
[EDIT: for an interview always wear a suit]
If you are interning or starting full time, for the first day wear something nice, then see what others are doing and adjust from there.
Thanks for the reminder though, personally I'm going to tell all of our interns not to wear a suit or even formal clothes (button down would be fine).
He said video interview, not first day.
Oh yeah, bad reading comprehension. I didn't read the title, just read the first sentence.
Definitely wear a suit to an interview, dude...

I went through a whole interview process (from phone screen to superday) at a BB with only phone calls, and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed interviewing wearing shorts and a t-shirt. No awkward zoom calls and no need to maintain eye-contact. Probably the best interview experience I have had.
I started in a suit and tie (didnt wanna risk them videocalling) and I ended up interviewing in my undies, best feeling ever.
Yeah there's a high chance the VP you're interviewing with is also at home in their PJ's with some gnarly flow. So they wouldn't care what you're wearing. I just went through an interview process a month ago at a BB and it was all phone calls ..... even if it was through skype.
I would ask the person organising your interviews about dress code. Makes you look thoughtful and respectful, and already puts you ahead of others!
I had some calls for work last week that were just on audio. And then someone from the team accidentally dialled me on a video. I was happy that I looked presentable and could pick them up.
suit and tie 100%
I'd play it safe for the first interview and then adjust accordingly in subsequent ones. While I was going through an interview process over the last two months, I wore a dress shirt no tie for my first interview and the interviewer was wearing a Hanes white T shirt (tech company). So then downgraded to just a casual button down in all the following interviews. All of the interviewers wore tshirts, polos, and at best a casual button down.
