Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

It depends a lot on the industry and the role. I think a 3 piece suit is too formal for many interviews today, unless you're going for executive level roles maybe. The tech industry tends to be pretty casual, especially. It's important to adapt to the environment that you're in. I wouldn't say it's scary that people wouldn't dress formally, as that has not been the norm for a while in many workplaces/roles.
I wear dresses everyday. And got hired at Lake City Army Ammunition plant. I can wear my dresses still, for my religious beliefs. But truly i am not warehouse worker, especially 3rd shift mandatory 12 hour shifts
I do think corporate is becoming more casual today, but it's better to be overdressed than underdressed for an interview. So I would keep overdressing just because you never know if you'll run into a company where everyone is dressed up.
It is in many big cities in the US, but his look would have been bold to wear had he been the one interviewing. I think a three piece suit might be a bit over the top, if I'm being honest. Like I think black tie/wedding fare is much too fancy for an interview. I think it's always safe to go business casual, but not too casual
I don't think there is such a thing as being overdressed for an interview but that is just me. I always dress to impress even if others around me are dressed nice. How a person dresses says a lot about them.
Dress slacks, dress shirt, polished shoes and maybe a tie depending on the role you're shooting for. That's the standard these days.
I think they just mean dress pants and dress shoes, so not jeans or khaki pants. Depending on the level of the role, I would expect this from a senior level role at an interview.
Why is that scary?
In a lot of modern workplaces a 3 piece suit is going to be overdressed for an interview. I've worked in mostly tech and creative industries where even wearing a tie would be overdressed and might get some looks, but in most industries work attire has gotten more casual especially post-pandemic when we all realized the joy of working in comfortable clothing.
The main thing is to do your research. If you show up in a 3 piece suit to a casual work environment you might look like you haven't done any research and don't have an understanding of the company culture. I think it's the same situation if you show up in a jeans and T-shirt to an interview at a more formal workplace. You want to look put together but also kind of like you already work there to subliminally influence them to picture you in the role, so usually just one level nicer than what you'd wear in the job is the sweet spot.
I’ve seen it over y over the ones that dress down got the job
I think the best way to go is always business casual. Most positions (unless C-suite) do not require a three piece suit. I always admired when someone showed up in a shirt and tie even on a virtual interview, but I'm old school that way. A nice shirt with slacks is perfectly acceptable, again depending on the role.
Mentioning a three-piece suit suggests you may be from a more traditional or earlier generation; nothing wrong with that at all. While I’m not judging you or the interviewer, it’s important to remember that you’re the one seeking the opportunity, so presenting yourself in the best possible light is key. Years ago, suits were the norm for interviews, but expectations have evolved. Today, attire often depends on the industry and company culture. Ultimately, wear what makes you feel confident; as long as you’re clean, neat, presentable, and professional, that’s what truly matters.
Keep in mind that interviewers are already in their work environment and may dress according to their company’s culture or dress code. Wishing you nothing but the very best throughout your job search!

"We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..." -Abe Simpson
