Hey there,

I agree with the sentiment of the other coaches. For virtual interviews, I would not go full-on suit and blazer.

Until recently, McKinsey Europe in their interview invitation email even clarified this topic saying that people should not overdress and a shirt is just fine.

Some of my candidates who logged into the Zoom call with a tie were kindly reminded by the interviewer that this was not necessary and told they could take it off if they want. :-)

Cheers,

Florian

Hello,

A formal shirt should be fine, blazer would be optional - go with what you prefer and feel most comfortable in. There's probably no need to go for a full formal suit if you are just going to be on zoom. 

Best of luck in your interview!

Hi there,

In general, the rules for in-person apply to virtual! So, whatever you would wear in person you should wear for this interview.

I also always recommend dressing one level up as opposed to one level down. Blazer won't hurt, but do what makes you feel most comfortable!

If you want to feel formal/dressed just throw on a blazer. No one can really tell you are wearing a suit. At the end of the day follow the protocol laid out by the interviewer (usually sent as part of the interview invite)
