seriously bro do u think this will automatically dinge me off for this interview or nah

 

I've gotten offers not wearing ties at very brand name places so its not an auto ding

 

Honestly, that’s such a lazy thing to do and shows lack of professionalism and attention to detail. Despite what may get thrown around on weirdo forums like reddit, attire matters. First impressions matter. Hell, I had this one MD who was utterly obsessed with The Smurfs, and if he was having a bad day, he would ding kids if their tie was the wrong shade of blue. It’s so competitive out there you can’t make a single mistake.
