Magnus Carlsen left the New York competition after he was told he had to change out of his jeans. Now, the International Chess Federation has relaxed its dress code rules to allow for "elegant deviations".

    In the mid-2000s, I was so confused by office culture and having to wear dress pants. I was venting at a tech conference about it.

    Then the room erupted in laughter. Like, Microsoft employees wearing jeans. Apple employees wearing potato sacks. IT guys wearing ThinkPads.

    In interviews, I now ask about dress code. It’s a yellow flag if the company has other weird micromanaging rules. Which is also why I don’t work in Fintech or gov.
