Hi. I have a final round interview with a HF (not in NYC).
Airline lost luggage but fortunately I have my suit and dress shirt and belt. Only thing I don’t have is black dress shoes and tie.
Is this the type of thing that I should go out (Uber) and buy a tie and dress shoes? I’m guessing I can’t get away with just telling hedge fund what happened.

Why not just go out and buy it assuming you have time? The airline will reimburse you for it.
I would email them about what happened. Especially if you’re new to the city, they would probably understand.
I wear size 15 shoes, can’t even buy it in stores. So I would definitely understand and not hold wearing sneakers against you.
People are a lot more understandable, we tend to assume the worst.
Congrats to your wife
Fiancée, but thank you. Haha
15!?
Yes, US 15. I think European 50.5 or sth.
This is still better than Will Smith in Pursuit of Happyness.
You got this.
'What do you think, if someone walked in for an interview with no shoes, and I hired him?'
Why are you checking luggage for a short trip? If you’re getting flown out for an interview then you should pack everything into a carry on and manage it yourself. Telling the firm about this will make them question whether you’re a prima-donna who is high maintenance and cannot manage your affairs, also reflects questionable judgment on your part.
Let me guess, shoe size 8?
Putting your dress shoes in the carry on doesn’t take up a lot of space.
It’s not like you’re putting your coat into the luggage.
This definitely screams high maintenance drama queen. I’d pass hard on your candidacy. Just dodged a bullet, and a few hundred grand in unnecessary expenses for the firm.
Fr, if I put my dress shoes in carry on and even carry my suit in my hand, I can barely fit a change of clothes in the winter. Let alone shaving kits and any essentials.
I usually just check-in a bag with no carry on.
Short people have it easy.
The insecurity is strong with this one.
No insecurity. Just using common sense.
Just show up dressed as you are no one will care. After all, just how often do you look at a man's shoes?
Many HF have a casual dress code anyway. I’ve gone on numerous interviews in a polo and chinos, and still got several offers.
We all know you’re unemployed bro, quit role playing.
