Wizbang posted:So uh I have an interview in Pittsburgh next week and I'm totally freaked out about how to dress. Here in Portland I've been interviewing in clean jeans and a nice shirt, no tie...but that's Portland. The East coast is uppertight about dress, right? I have a nice suit, but it'll be a big hassle on the plane and I'd rather not worry about it if I don't have to...and it's almost as bad to be overdressed as underdressed, right? Find out what the dress code is and dress one step "up" from that. If they are business casual, wear a shirt and tie, but not a suit. That said, you can't really over dress for an interview in my opinion.

bUm posted:Thanks for comments on my resume; got around to updating my resume based on comments here: revised wording slightly, made it chronological by end date (to keep my programming experience at the top while satisfying the chronological/reverse-chronological norm), and removed IDEs/Linux from the skills section (probably will tack on again if it specifically mentions Eclipse/Emacs/Linux experience in the job description [in case they screen by it], but otherwise stick with the cleaned version). Befriend a graphic designer and have them format your resume for you. I'm not sure what passes for acceptable these days, but that is very hard to read.

A general question out of curiosity more than anything else... About how many people get an interview (passing first phone screen or whatever) for each dev job at the "big guys" in the industry (Google, Facebook, etc.)?
