Is the tie OK for a callback interview? Forum

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 7:53 pm

1L just got a v100 callback. Can I wear this? Used search and it said go with red or blue, but I like this tie for some reason and just want to confirm it's conservative enough. Many thanks!

Wow, really. You asked this question.

Go red or blue. A V100 1L cb is like a unicorn. Don't fuck it up with a bad tie.

Voted yes. But if you aren't sure just go with red/blue

Do you have time to get a more conservative tie? I think that's a bit loud.

Do the colors have a special significance? Probably not. Just don't wear it.

But that tie does look like it would look gorgeous with a good navy suit for the summer you work there.

Not okay for V100

Might be good for your run of the mill NLJ250 though

I think it would probably be fine but I still voted "no" because you are going to need a red or blue tie as part of your wardrobe anyways so you might as well buy one and wear it.

I see comments like this often. It is a joke right? OP, and anyone else reading: treat any and all job interviews like a supposed "V5." You should never project less than your best. Now I understand that you probably would be more willing to break the bank if you have a around of interviews with some top Vault firms, as opposed to some government gigs. But spending the 20-50 bucks to get an appropriate tie and belt... come on.

Great point. When I was interviewing during 2L OCI I made sure to get items that would work for the job that I would end up getting. Getting a few staple ties is always an intelligent move.

stop spreading pre-ITE misinfo. this tie is now only acceptable for litigation boutiques with fewer than 20 attys and solo practitioners whose last names start with T.

if you treat every firm like a V5 you can only do five interviews, bad advice. better to apply broadly.

If this thread is real, it is awesome.

It's gotten to the point where I can't tell who is trolling and who isn't on TLS.

As someone who works in a more conservative V100 firm, I'd say its almost certainly fine. But it is on the louder side. Can never hurt to play it safe with a more typical color, whether it be blue, red, green, etc. But if you ultimately went with this tie, not like anyone would think its improper.

I don't know that it would offend anyone (I've seen people wearing any and everything to CBs), but it's still hideous.
