I'm interviewing for a job for the first time in 14 years.

"What's the atmosphere like there?" I asked my contact at the new company. "Like, do I go business casual?"

And with that one sentence—that one word, really—I realized that I truly have no idea how the real world works anymore.

To them, casual = no cumberbund

To me, casual = no socks
