Got an interview at a financial tech firm. I asked them what I should wear:

Engineering is a casual environment, so we encourage you to wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. We are focused on your knowledge and skillset, not your outfit, so please come as you are.

Not a suit, OK... but not sure if I should wear weekend casual or my usual business casual/work clothes...

    Whatever you wear the upper body item must be a shirt with buttons. Then it's both cool and formal

    You could go with spongebob pants and a shirt would still make you serious

    Suit every time.

    Casual whatever makes you feel comfortable is for AFTER the interview once you've got the job.

    @drRoss well I actually asked them should I wear a suit and this the reply so thats why I'm wondering... If not a suit then what?

    @allanx2000 blue button up, sleeves rolled up. Clean shaven or well groomed and very clean beard. Wear nice pair of dockers pants. Shirt tucked in with belt. Loafers or tennis shoes.

    Bullshit. Wear your everyday clothes, that company has the right idea, it shouldn't matter how you dress, it's your knowledge/experience that's important. The way I look at it is why would I want to work for a company that would hire me just because I wore a suit, and that way of thinkings never done me wrong yet. If you'd feel more comfortable going to the interview in a suit, by all means go in a suit, or a shirt or whatever, but don't wear specific clothing because you feel that's what you should be expected to wear.
