Proper attire for a startup interview
I won't name names but there is one in particular that is known for requiring ties. I showed up for an interview in a suit sans tie and it was pointed out to me as well. The only interview I've ever had where I didn't get the job.-----cstross 355 days ago | link
You could always ask?"Hi. I understand you're a start-up. I'd wear a suit to a job interview with a big, conservative corporation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I don't want to make you uncomfortable if that's not how you roll. Is office casual acceptable?"This puts the ball in their court,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and also tells them you're flexible and you prepare for interviews in advance rather than running on autopilot.-----wolframarnold 354 days ago | link
Uh, no. The one who's uncomfortable here is clearly you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you have to ask. If you really don't know and it's important to you to 'blend in', then swing by the office in the morning or at night and see how people are dressed coming in or out. Or find the founders on LinkedIn or Facebook and see what they're wearing. This is the part where resourcefulness and self-motivated behavior starts.-----SamReidHughes 351 days ago | link
Maybe that's the case if you want to turn everything into a mind game. That's why I'm saying just be yourself. It's the candidate asking the question who starts the mindgame. So long external validation matters more than inner confidence, I'll always look like a mindgame you can't win. And dropping by the office can seem like madness if you're going down the line of outside validation thinking too far. At the other end of the spectrum, it's recon.-----achompas 355 days ago | link
Agreed. They're a 15-person team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contacting them beforehand is not out of the question (I did so when I first started interviewing at startups).-----devs1010 352 days ago | link
Honestly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I don't like the advice people are giving to just dress "how you would every day" because that's the real you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],etc. The bottom line is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when you are programming all day and only meeting with maybe an internal manager / team leader,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc there is little reason to dress up. However, I would think if one day you have to sit in on a meeting with an important prospective client, you might dress a little differently than you do normally when you are just doing programming. If you don't want to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thats fine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there's no reason to deride someone for thinking they should treat an interview a little differently than they would just another day at work.-----spaghetti 355 days ago | link
Wear what helps you feel the most comfortable. This will ensure you do your best during rigorous interviews. Also keep in mind that startup employees respect skill and expertise. If its something like government contracting obviously it makes sense to dress conservatively. For me personally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I go dressed in slacks or jeans and dress/casual shirt. its as simple as that. let them hire the real you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and not a front you put on based on some perceived image you have of the company.-----ShirsenduK 355 days ago | link
Startups are meant to be a place where you don't have to worry about such things. Wear what you want. Smile

I agree. T-shirt, shorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and sandals would seem to be what I would want to wear, especially if this startup is in the Bay Area. (IDK if it is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just a thought.)If you don't get the job because of wearing something like that, to an interview with a startup, you don't want to be working there anyways.-----dcozel 355 days ago | link
I feel like shorts and sandals would be pushing it. How about a combination of jeans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a shirt, a sweater, and no-toe-revealing-shoes?-----Moto7451 355 days ago | link
I tend to go for dark jeans or khakis and a tucked in button up shirt (long or short sleeves depending on the weather) but I tend to dress that way anyways. I don't think I'd be a good match for a company that required something more formal. I consider what everyone else wears to be part of my side of the interview with them since it reflects their culture.-----debacle 354 days ago | link
