Business suit is not mandatory as a dress code for interviews, however if it is an experienced level role then going in a business suit will not hurt at all. And as you say that it is a tier-1 organisation then a business suit is always a safe and good option. However smart casuals/formal wear like nice fitted trouser, nice crisp shirt would do as well....Just look sharp!!nks wrote:Hi,
I remember few discussions about this here on the forum but often as offshoot of other topics. I got my first F2F interview on this monday and wondering if being in proper business dress (read as 'suit') is important to get those initial few points. I would not ask this if it was an interview for Business Analyst but its a Software Developer/Support role in a blue chip software MNC. I am still in my home country mindset where perhaps the interviewer will laugh to see me coming in suit for such a role but its better to ask while in Rome that how Romans look
Thanks,

Very well thought of question really. As aspirant advised, looking smart and tidy is more than enough for an interview. Further, as the role you are interviewing is NOT a senior nor management one, you do not need to wear a business suit or even a jacket - just a dark trouser with a light clear formal shirt will suffice.nks wrote:I would not ask this if it was an interview for Business Analyst but its a Software Developer/Support role in a blue chip software MNC.
Desperado - this is what the OP is asking advice on here. IIT is in India not in the UK so its really not a fair comment to make or a fair base to compare against. Not sure recruiters who are truly British will have such a thoughtdesperado1306 wrote: Of course, I would assume that the other guy is more serious (completely my opinion but thats what was inculcated in my college days at IIT).
Yup, I cannot argue with that at all. As a personal opinion based on recruiting for my company and also interviewing a lot - wear the coat as a jacket and hence make sure you are dressed in Business Casuals rather than dressed up like you are going for a Black Tie Eventdesperado1306 wrote:I agree Kenfrapin but why to take a chance by not wearing a suit unless you don't have one.
