Regular tie or bow tie for job interview?

He at least used to live in the general vicinity.  Not any more apparently.  He was an engineer at Boeing before he got on TV.

I actually met Bill Nye several times when he was still local.  He has an undergrad degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell and was an engineer at Boeing for a while.  Then he started on a local comedy show, Almost Live, and his TV career took off from there.  His most famous characters on Almost Live were the Science Guy, Speedwalker, and Streetwalking Lawyer.

For the interview today, I am going with a red silk tie with white pindots against a French blue Land's End button down oxford.  Normal business attire for me.  No bow tie today.

So long as it fits you, go for the bow tie. It can show confidence in yourself.

Agreed.

I was underwhelmed by the interview and facility, it took me 90 minutes to go 40 miles this morning and similar to get home.  I have decided the relatively-minimal increase in the pay range is not worth it for an 80 mile commute when I don't need a new job, and I will pass on the position.

Quality of life dude. It's why I never took a DC gig. A career hit was a personal life plus for me.

But just think how your legs will look if you bike commute.

The older I get, the more quality of life means, especially since I have about five years left before retirement.
