FrozenVent posted:The Chinese exchanges that handle most of the volume these days have also shut down a lot of real currency transactions. Seems like the government started looking into them. Well not these days as of a week ago because once they started requiring transaction fees and records (due to the government) their share dropped by something like 100%. The shutdown happened after that and was just icing on the cake.

Honestly I am at a point now where I'd dress in T-Shirt and jeans to interview at a place because it's what I wear 99% of the time. It's a signaling mechanism. There are a lot of jobs out there for me to take, and if the culture is dress up beyond that I am most likely gonna not like the place because of other issues and their impact on my job.

The differences in attitudes between types of work are funny. My office is super casual, but we are supposed to dress nicely or at minimum to the client's standards when we are at client sites. Thus, if you don't wear a suit to the interview, it raises a lot of questions about your ability to go in to an environment that you don't understand and achieve a decent level of formality. For us, it's always better to be overdressed - you can always take off the jacket or lose the tie or whatever.

If I was interviewing for a consulting gig I'd dress up(but I don't want a consulting gig...). I have a made up job(Devops Engineer) and on the whole think it'd be indicative of the environment I'd be coming into as a bad fit in a bunch of ways if dress code was something they spent a bunch of time thinking about.

This is not the lived experience for 99% of Americans and would be BWM advice for almost anyone. I think we can officially end page 3 of "Actually, T-Shirts and shorts are fine to wear to job interviews because..." derail.

I think my problem isn't so much that I'm worried they're going to nitpick how I dress, it's that people (all people, whether they want to or not) automatically, subconsciously evaluate you based on how you look and then back-justify their first impression later with whatever facts they need to convince themselves they were right for not liking you on first sight. Even at my current job, where I wear a t-shirt and jeans all the time, I still dressed nice for the interview Also Punkbob posted:Devops Engineer I am so triggered right now

I am more then aware that the title has a bunch of baggage. Both on the use of Devops as a title, and the inclusion of Engineer. But hey it pays me more and leads to less anger then if I was just a sysadmin.

Yeah I mined like 50 of them back in 2011 when it was still something you could make money doing just with your video card. I think they ranged in value from like $5-20 when I did it and I just cashed out because I figured it would all be gone by now anyway. Whoops!

Trust me you made more money than the $0 that would remain if you hodl'ded because you would have lost the private key or got mtgoxed or hacked or scammed or any number of things.

Dress nicely is probably pretty good default advice but there's a whole bunch of factors that make it less relevant or completely unnecessary so I mean it's a good idea to suggest in the absence of any more information but it's not universal and there's tons of extenuating circumstances where it's either unnecessary or undesirable so do your own thing based on your own circumstances and also it has pretty much nothing to do with managing money so shut the gently caress up about it already please? Thanks you!
