    Hiring manager here: you’d be overdressed for me (not a problem as attire isn’t a hiring factor for me) but if you’re in the northeast USA, you might be underdressed without a tie and jacket. Literally anywhere else I think you’re spot on.

      Northeast here. Unless it’s gone dramatically backwards in time since 2016 or so, suits are no longer mandatory for IT applicants in most Boston companies. Sometimes they’re frowned upon.

      My friend in HR told me the same thing. Always dress the way you would on a normal day at work, just make sure you don’t have stains on your shirt.
