Interview Attire
I have an upcoming onsite interview with a HF. What should I wear? When I interviewed for IB, I wore a suit and I did one PE interview where I wore a suit as well. I know HFs are a bit more relaxed versus IB/PE.

Investing is about risk vs reward decision making. Obviously learn more about the firm's culture and find a definitive answer if there is one. If not, absolutely wear a suit and tie. You are far more likely to be dinged for underdressing when a suit and tie was the expectation versus the opposite.
This shouldn't even need to be asked. Just wear a suit.
