Interview at Google tomorrow

[omnifarious]

Should I wear my 'Google' shirt to the interview at Google tomorrow morning, or should I wear my IETF shirt? Or should I try for something nicer than a geeky t-shirt and black jeans? Keep in mind, this is Google we're talking about it. It might well be to my detriment to wear a suit. :-)

Update: I think it went really well.

I have no idea what you should wear...but good luck at the interview!

[omnifarious]

Thanks! :-)

An engineering position, I presume? I'd suggest you wear slacks and a button-down shirt, which is about the nice end of what the engineers there seem to wear.

And good luck!

Thanks for the advice. And thanks for the well wishes. :-)

Wear the IETF shirt if it's not faded and has no holes. Be prepared to give a good reason for owning it. Wearing a G shirt feels too much like fanboying to me.

Are you interviewing in SRE or engineering or some other group?

Good luck!

I was kinda thinking the same thing.

I believe I will be being interviewed for a position as a software engineer. I think that might correspond to being an SRE, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

This is correct.

Best of luck regardless of what you wear!

[omnifarious]

Thank you. :-)

Noted. :-) The IETF shirt it is. :-)
