/fa/ you're my only hope. I'm about to start interviewing for tech startups. Does this work (in theory)?

tech startups are full of fucking losers who think reddit mfa is god tier fashion. go ask people on there. /fa/ is way too avant garde for them, altho they will prolly think you are going to help their diversity numbers on the gay front

Shave your hair, go to hairdressers and get a haircut that doesn't suck all your face (the kind of cut you have usually makes you look more chubby and ugly). Wear a shirt, buy a blazer that fits, high waisted pants and a pair of derbies and off you go.

If you're serious, and this isn't a troll post then don't go in suit.

My impression of you is that you don't even know what YC is (I hope I'm wrong).
Go in what you usually wear, tech startups especially don't give a fuck about what you wear, you're there to show that you can hack shit together.

If I was you, then I would:
>shaving that stache
>wear chill minimalistic hoddie and jeans/chinos
>some really comfortable sneakers

Don't act like a fedora lord.

Don't wear a blazer and shirt for a tech startup, unless the people at the startup does it.
99% that they don't.

head over to jcrew/gap/whatever and try on a bunch of oxford shirts until you find one that fits and wear that instead

Buddy just ask them what sort of clothes they expect during the interview.

Lots of start ups have older staff that you might interview that expect some kind of business wear.

Also that red shirt you are wearing is a no-no regardless of what their dress code for interviews is.

If its completely informal I'd wear jeans and a non-graphics tee, possibly with buttons but probably no collar (if you just have a polo that should be fine too)

If its business casual I'd wear a patterned oxford shirt with khakis

If its formal I'd wear a full suit. What you are wearing is okay (but the fit is a little off imo). Just switch the red shirt for a proper oxford with a tie. I actually tend to remove my jacket if I've been told to whiteboard.

lose weight, go to a 100 dollar hairstyle by professionals, cut your poverty beard, get better style.

Thanks for your comments lads. I am not trolling -- I am literally coming straight from /a/. I tried to do some improvements. I probably made it worse though.

I will do a clean shave when I get some razors.

Looks way better to me man. Good one on dropping the stache. A light beard might be very flattering in the future.

>> No.11649505

>>11649474
A lot better than before. Shaving was definitely the right decision as well.
Your glasses appear to be horrible, but it's a tech start-up- They'll be used to that.

The way I see it, this is no good. I wouldn't take advice from /fa/, since most of these fags are NEETs living on Daddy's fat paycheck. If you're interviewing for a job, ANY job you need to look professional, and that means dress shirt with tie at the very least, tucked into black dress pants, or some nice light kahkis would be fine in your case, belt, and dress shoes. Sure you can probably get away with much less but why risk it? First impressions mean everything for interviews, they'll literally decide if they want you or not within the few mins

I have looked up their LinkedIn and nobody seems to be wearing suits. So I have decided to go without suit.

>> No.11650534

dress for the job you want
not the job you have

they arent wearing suits because they already have the job. You are applying. You dont rate business casual yet.

Good luck man. Get some contacts or new glasses

This is shit advice. If you go in with a suit they will not be able to relate to you at all.

Fuck that.
He wants the job, he should dress for the job then.
The people working the job he wants dress business casual, then he will too.
And they'll like it.

Well, on the plus side, it really looks like you came straight from /a/...

Anyway, that sweater is not flattering to your body type, and that polo isn't making anyone happier. I'm not really sure how i would dress, but if it's a small tech startup, im sure you can go without a suit.

The ones i've been in contact with have been comprised of nerds (very smart, but that's the type) with very little care for how you dress, although there's always the fact that an employee reflects on the employer. If you're the right man for the job, i dont think they really care that much

>> No.11651206

Startup CTO here, the last fucking thing we care about when choosing an intern is how they looked (especially for tech interns), and you're stupid for thinking anything other than qualifications and ability to communicate decently would have gotten you the job/internship

Looking good bro. I would go with a dress shirt and a tie on the inside though...That's just me though!
