To suit up or not to suit up?

Meeting a senior VP at a MM bank today to "talk about" an analyst position. He is coming to my city to do business but contacted me to meet up.

So my question is--What is proper attire for this meeting?

We are going to go to a restaurant mid-afternoon, but he is considering me for a position, so it will be an interview.

What the hell do I wear?

Definetly a suit, how can you even think of wearing something else? You are going to lunch with him, even if its some skeezy diner you still want to be wearing a suit

 
bonks he is considering me for a position, so it will be an interview.

All that needs to be read. Suit.
