What to wear to an informational interview with an very senior MD at his office during work hours?
I will be having an informational interview with a very senior MD at his office in September. We've already spoken on the phone, and the purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the sophomore summer analyst position. Now at this place, the sophomore analyst position is almost totally diversity, but he would have the power to hire me if he wanted to.
So should I treat this more like a standard coffee chat with business casual, or should I treat it more like an actual interview and come in a full suit and tie? This meeting is explicitly about the summer analyst program.
I know its a while away, but I have a lot of time on my hands right now and was just pondering this.
It’s hard to tell without really understanding the type of relationship you have built with this person, but in general, it’s always better to overdress than underdress.
Do you think suit but no tie would be a good compromise?
Sure. You can always take off the jacket anyway.
Personally I'd go with dress pants, shirt and shoes.
overdoing it is as wrong as underdoing it
Sounds good. Maybe wear a jacket but just take it off if once seated? I feel like this it nitpicking now, but I don't want to fuck it up.
If you're meeting him at the office you should wear a suit.
NOTHING, you show him your dominance, old guys like young, tender flesh anyways
if it’s an interview you can’t go wrong wearing a suit.
See but thats the thing. Officially it is not an interview, but unofficially it most certainly is.
I'll just plan on a suit though.
If he makes a comment about the suit (which I doubt), have a joke ready.
Always a suit. Forget the informational part, it's an interview for sure even if its not "official", whatever the fuck that means...like u said if he likes you he can make shit happen
also if I were you I'd make sure to look sharp and prepare well beforehand - treat it as if it's a superday interview
$0.02 from someone who once was caught off guard and went unprepared to one of these...horrible experience I'd tell you
