I wore a Patagonia vest to my Facebook final round interview last month and did not get along with a single interviewer. Is Facebook anti-Pata culture? I recently moved to sf and have noticed a divide

IBM1, chill dude. if you're worried about solving this, you're being corporate. This isn't worth two thoughts. If you're gonna worry about something, it has to be meaningful. That's how.

Isn't Amazon also known for those? NYT article from a few years had solid story IIRC.

Had the same exp. but did not wear Patagonia. Think a lot of ppl there are just a-holes

I’m gonna go out of a limb to say, and hear me out because it’s provocative...maybe it had nothing to do with the pata and everything to do with cultural differences

I thought “Pata culture” was to try to get tech bros not to wear their clothing—in which case, I’d think your apparel choice would be seen as a bold statement of defiance that could be considered favorable

Um what patagucci is as popular in tech as it is in finance. In fact the brogramming culture started at Facebook

Maybe they didn’t like you because of the shoes you wore?

Assuming you didn’t get the offer?

You shoulda worn hollister instead. The safer choice
