> But for the tech jobs most people want, it's a really bad idea to put a suit on for a interview.

Why? Are you saying that some company will give you a hard time because you are wearing a suit? That would certainly be humorous.

Humorous as in "Haha, I have no intention to work in such a place, ever".

You'd probably be wrong. Cultural fit may be important, and you don't want to get strange looks on an interview. At the same time the company still might be quite good - as in "early Google"-like good.

I've hold for a while the attitude that if a company pays attention if I'm wearing a suit in a job interview, I shouldn't get a job there.

I don't have anything to complain about that attitude. In retrospect, it saved me from quite a few bad situations that my inexperience would make me accept. But things changed and it does not apply anymore (am not even technically working on IT anymore).
