Multiple Informationals, Dress Code

Hey Guys,

I have an informational interview set up by HR at a bank in Chicago (think Piper Jaffray, though it isn't that company. I don't even think they have an office there). Also, I will be visiting a guy I talked to on the phone at GS (not IB, more like Asset Management). That is more of a "tour" type thing if you know what I mean?

Suit? Slacks? Tie? Overalls?

The PJC thing is more formal but less formal of a company, whereas the GS thing is less formal but more formal of a company.

ITS GOING TO BE HOT AS HELL IN CHICAGO

Suit and tie. Shows you came with your game face, you're presentable, you took the thing seriously ... and it's the safest bet because you can gauge the formality pretty quickly and toss the jacket over your arm or shoulder while you're walking, back of the chair when sitting.

Honestly, I'm surprised these are even questions.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
