    Hi - you look perfectly presentable for this type of job. No one expects you to look amazing, they just expect you to look like you care and can read the appropriateness and seriousness of the situation. I think this satisfies that.

    Hiring Managers are people too, if you’re questioned on it and feel comfortable I might explain some of the reasons you provided here. A good manager will hear you and be quite reasonable about it. The ones that don’t understand are going to be a bit toxic.

    Good luck!

    Looks good, might want to try to center the buckle on your belt with your zipper, but other than that - looks great.

    Looking sharp. Be confident to prove to them that you’re the right person for the job.

    Not gonna lie, I feel you’re more concerned about your disability than the outfit. I’m sure you’re smart and well aware of the subject matter that you’re applying to work in (or at least a complete willingness to learn it). My advice would be to express that, and go in with a high and field-oriented energy. You got this

    When I was interviewing (in the Bay Area initially, but the culture is similar here in TO) I was warned not to over-dress for interviews. Tech seems to foster a very meritocratic culture (for better or worse), where dressing more casually is seen as letting your work speak for itself in a way.

    I’d say this outfit looks exactly right - not just “good enough”, but spot on for what is dressy enough without coming across as trying too hard or being too corporate.

    The exact culture varies from company to company. As a broad stereotype, startups and burgeoning tech will lean more casual, larger companies and established tech will lean more dressy; but I think you’re in a safe place for either.

    Best of luck with the interview process.
