Why is everyone trying to act like a big swinging dick? You are all horrible representatives for your company and project a shitty image of your corporate culture. Everyone came into this from different points in their life and different backgrounds.

Ppl don’t be harsh. At least he’s asking. When in doubt, over dress. Jacket at the minimum. Tie is a bonus.

That my friend is a big assumption that everyone has a big dick to swing. That being said, I agree with you. Lighten up people, he is asking a question and there is no such thing as a stupid question. Good question OP. Now wear your suit and tie, dress up for the position you want and get it with confidence

Always better to be over dressed for the event. Use this guidance not just for in interview, but throughout your career.

OP, dress professionally, suit and tie if you can otherwise sport coat and white shirt with dress shoes. You'll be fine, your resume should speak for you even before you walk through the door. Your demeanor should be calm but you external appearance would come last if you were to interview me... Unless you are looking for a client facing position. Best of luck!

Good luck dude! Sorry for being a twat in my responses.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
