> But what you're going to have to do is, when you interview, make sure one of your questions is "What is the dress code?" (and try not to look upset if they say it's anything other than "casual" ;-) ) and then you're going to have to ask them to define whatever they say anyway, because like I said, "business casual" can be defined in many different ways.

I've even asked what the dress code was like when setting up the interview. I always wear nice slacks and a shirt and tie at the least but that is only when they've told me that the office is very casual. One boss said his shoes were never on his feet after lunch. Another interviewer who I did not ask was surprised I had worn a tie. I guess they usually told the interviewees to come fairly casual. A few years ago, I read that some companies looked down on people who dressed up for the interview. Of course, this was at the beginning of the dotcom boom and in the middle of Silicon Valley.

But it does depend on the company.
