Dress code

[CAPP0]

I've been invited to go and see someone next week for an "informal meeting" to discuss a possible new role which they are looking to create. The company is separate from my current employer, although they own a significant portion of it. It's a reasonably senior role.

I have very (very) little information to go on other than that the role may interest me given my skills/experience/background, and I'm meeting just one person, who I've never met before.

So, to the topic title. I'm thinking business casual, i.e. suit & shirt, no tie (which is generally the culture in my current organisation) rather than interview-formal.

Whaddya say?

I wouldn't have thought anyone will get a negative impresion of you wearing a tie, but they just might if you're not wearing one.

Very interesting take on it, thanks!

I'd think 'informal meeting' suggests more of a chat than an interview, but doesn't really tell you anything about dress code. Where is it being held?

Their premises.

Thanks for all the input, chaps. I've had the meeting now, went in suit & tie (and shiny shoes!) and happily the guy I met walked in wearing a tie. So, PH gets it right (again/as usual!).
