Nope. Just make sure to have a decent suit for interviews. As far as materials, I found it way easier to start with the 400 guide and then get into the more advanced stuff after you've mastered the basics(I did this just by browsing WSO looking for things like "hardest technicals, multi-step questions, etc". Can't emphasize how important it is to actually understand the concepts instead of just memorizing answers from the 400q guide. 

 

Got an offer with a $150 suit and a cheap ass polka dot tie. Really doesn’t matter. Know you stuff and be confident. Regarding guides, there is a lot online in pdf, and a lot of questions answered on WSO. Not necessary to buy guides (I didn’t) but it wouldn’t hurt.
