Hi 🐠 fam! Need some advice. Have an upcoming interview with a boutique social impact firm. Pretty sure everyday dress is super low key business casual. Thinking about blazer, no tie. Yay or nay?

It's an interview, wear the tie. Wear sport coat and slacks as opposed to a suit if you want to soften the look.

You're overthinking it

Yeah that sounds fine

Go blazer and slacks, tie with sweater. Smart but not stuffy.

with KPMG but you will never be discounted for wearing suit and tie to an interview. Even if they are super casual they may still expect the dog and pony show from interviewee. I once had an interview on a Friday with an industry firm. Was in dark suit and tie and they were in jeans and polo shirt. Got complemented on the way out for dressing appropriately and not to worry since it was casual Friday about looking odd.

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities
