Gonna do a series of on-site interviews for a major American company in a few days for a post-PhD position.
I was packing the full suit because it's just what you do for any job interview here in France, and then someone pointed to me that the convention might be different in America.
What do? Should I just go with the blazer + dark jeans + open shirt collar casual combo instead?
>inb4 I'm a faggot for caring
I'm gonna have to end up caring one way or another. I've heard some people in high-tec find suits unbearable because it looks like you're trying to cover up your incompetence.

You will obviously never amount to anything. You might as well give up now. If you really had what it takes you would know it walking into it.

What's the company?

It's a very large technology industry company. I'd rather not be more specific.

Conventions isn't that different. Wear a suit.

I also need a tip.

I have an interview tomorrow. Entry level position at an entry level company. However a quite respectable entry level position, thanks to a certificate I happen to have in that field. It's basically data analysis. I'm still a student and employed as a student, meaning part-time work.

Full suit or jacket with jeans and dark shirt w/o tie shoes? Or short: full business or business casual?

If you're unsure, always err on the side of overdressed.

Dress shirt and slacks with a tie. No full suit. Just don't look like an uncaring asshole kid and you'll be fine.
