Do you always dress like that?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

My recruiter made it pretty clear that the recommended attire was business casual (jeans + a nice shirt) and that anything more than that would be overdressed. Also, while Facebook pays for the hotel and airfare directly, you can expense your meals, transportation, etc. just like you can with pretty much any other company in the world.

Sounds like he was being relatively nice, actually.  Any engineer who showed up in any of the place where I've worked, in a suit, would get a ribbing.  Are you sure you're not being oversensitive?

If you think you can carry it off - "Only on laundry day."
If you are playing it safe - "Only when I'm interviewing."

Usually not this formal. However I want to assess the degree of formality by doing a binary search on the number of days that I am employed at FB and calibrating eventually to an equilibrium formal level.
