My oldest son is starting his Junior year at college, majoring in software engineering. He'll be interviewing for internships this fall and I'm wondering what is appropriate dress.
I'm getting ready to take him out suit shopping because that's always been proper interview etiquette as far as I know. However, I've always worked in professional offices where you'd expect to see interviewees come in suited up. I assumed it's the same for someone interviewing for a position in software engineering but I wanted to double check because I've heard that the dress is more casual in that kind of work environment. Have things changed at all over the years or should he still be wearing a suit and tie at least for the purposes of the interview process?
Thanks!
