What do I wear to a quant interview. Apparently everyone wears t-shirts and jeans. Should I do that? Should I wear a fun collared shirt? Should I wear a collared business shirt? Should I wear a suit?

You want to do something really different? A nice dress and makeup that looks like you actually tried.

A fucking suit you dummy.

I worked on a trading floor and we all wore jeans. That's because we already got the job and made the firm money. If you came in without a tie I'd show you the fucking door and we'd all laugh.

Do you know how many fucking people in the world would kill for that job? Take it seriously.

>comes to the quant interview in a suit
>Recruiter looks at you in a disgusted look
"A suit?! Do you have autism or something?"

Wear a button up flannel shirt and blue jeans. Wear hiking boots.

I asked the recruiter directly, and he said "Wear a t-shirt, or if you want to look nice, wear a collared shirt"

I'm getting mixed messages here.

Shirt & tie

If it's an old school institution or bank, then wear a suit.

seriously, just a collared shirt and some nice pants and dress shoes. Doesn't have to be a white shirt, just long sleeved and not some stupid design. No tie.

And the guy also told me that he showed up in a tie for his interview, and saw how everyone was dressed and hastily stuffed it in his bag

If you want a job, dress one tier above whats being worn at work.
95% of the worlds dress code tiered up

>T1 - Three piece suit and tie. (I.E Ceo)
>T2 - Button up Shirt and tie
>T3 - Button up shirt
>T4 - Polo shirt
>T5 - T shirt

So whatever is being worn at the job, dress one up on that, as to show you give a shit about the job. If you need the pants equivalent and belt type, shoes etc I will explain.

So if most they are wearing t-shirts or casual button-up shirts at the office, ill wear a button up shirt and beige chinos? Or should I wear a business shirt with grey pants?
