Intern suits?
When interviewing and working as a investment banking intern, how important is suit quality?
Would a $300 suit from Jose A. Bank be good enough for an intern?
Also what kind of dress shoes should I be wearing?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the quality of your suit is important, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive one on the market. As an intern, you want to look professional and put-together, but you don't want to outshine your superiors. A $300 suit from Jose A. Bank should be perfectly fine as long as it fits well and is in a conservative color like navy or charcoal.
As for shoes, it's recommended to have a couple of pairs of good quality dress shoes. The price range mentioned in the WSO threads is around $300-500. However, the brand isn't as important as the fit and style. Stick to classic styles in black or brown.
Remember, the key is to look professional and polished, but not overly flashy. After all, you're there to learn and work, not to walk a fashion runway.
