Interviewing during the work day.... thoughts?

3-yrs into my current role, a FO corp. banking gig in a major city at a BB.

I'm approaching that time in my career where I am looking for the next challenge, what does everyone think about leaving work for 2-3 hours to interview during the day at a diff firm (10-15min uber ride away)?

I don't want to keep taking sick days, I'm just concerned if I leave the office with a suit and tie on + a manilla folder of resumes someone will notice.

A separate question, do folks even still wear ties / bring resumes or notebooks to interviews?

Thanks in advance,
