Ask HN: What to wear to job interview for biz dev position?

2 pointsby csdraneover 11 years ago
I have an upcoming interview with a nyc startup for a potential business development position. I&#x27;ll be meeting with the head of biz dev and possibly the CEO. I&#x27;m wondering what to wear to the interview. I had been in the office previously meeting with some other people and the culture is casual. Previously I wore dress pants and a shirt and felt fine for the situation. However, I was there meeting with technical people and it was more of an informational context.<p>I&#x27;m wondering whether I might want to bring a jacket and&#x2F;or tie to this next interview. I figure the guys I might be meeting with are more likely to be dressed up themselves since they meet with potential clients, funders, etc.

A good rule of thumb is to dress the same level or one level up from the person you are interviewing with.<p>If you want to seem serious, but not overdo it, perhaps you could wear a jacket with no tie or a tie with no jacket.
