Good call, Gaston.

The nicest jeans I have are some darker Levi's

Excuse my ignorance, but what is this?

back office jobs

I’m guessing manager positions?

We care more about the person passing an algorithm, white board test, in which my team is interviewing, rather than how they’re dressed. My company does not have a dress code.

It's an expression. Nice jeans means your pair of church jeans in baw speak. Not the acid wash with grease stains.

Are those the ones with glitter on the back pockets?

It’s not glitter a-hole

It’s stitching and a few rhinestones

It’s funny to see the guys that you know don’t wear suits very often show up to a cocktail party or function in an oversized suit when everyone else is dressed in business casual attire

That’s who you people remind me of

I wear suits 2-3 times a week, though? And they are properly fitted.

I only care that you aren’t going to take down a thousand VMs because you don't know what you are doing. I don't really care what you are wearing unless you look homeless

You wear sneakers to work?

Nope but the guy asking for advice on his outfit says he does.

If it’s that casual going suit for 3 days might be over the top. As I previously mentioned it might also be a good chance for him to up his game a little just day to day moving forward. Go a half step up On his attire daily from here on out at work and throw in a jacket for the upper level interview might be the sweet spot.
