I am going to an on site interview with a small firm next week. The person I interviewed with over the phone called me yesterday and said "we don't really dress formal around here so no need to particularly dress up".
What should I dress in? Should I still abide by the "rather overdress but never underdress" principle and dress in suit? Business casual with sports jacket?
