Just curious what past SA at IBs have used to carry stuff to/from the office. Whether it be messenger bags, or something else, or even nothing if there is no use for it. Not sure what the norm is. Any recommendations??
Thanks






If you're an SA, don't you
If you're an SA, don't you get an analyst bag?

Each bank gives them out to SAs, at least for Front Office and Risk that I have seen.

I almost always saw people go in empty handed to the office the past two summers. This was at banks. A few had a backpack, but they had workout clothes for hitting the gym afterwards

What banks don't? My friends who were SAs last summer at GS, MS, RBS, Barclays, Citi, Nomura, BAML, and a few more all got one. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Now I'm Curious. Thanks.
We got them during summer
We got them during summer associate training last year (as did the SA's) but didn't appear that others in the office had them. Regardless, it's a gym bag, not a briefcase.
yeah, i've heard many banks
yeah, i've heard many banks give them to their SA's as well... im just not going to a bulge, that's all.. its in manhattan but it's a MM so i wasn't sure if they do all the same things as BB (such as giving SA's this stuff, seamless for food, etc)
have people found that they need a messenger bag anyway? do you need to bring stuff back/forth?
Why do people keep posting
Why do people keep posting about SA Mesesenger bags? You have literally zero need for one.

completely agree... i have never had a need for one in my analyst career... they'll usually give you a laptop bag

Only on weekends
laptop comes with a laptop
laptop comes with a laptop bag so thats fine. You will usually get a bag from the bank, but they are pretty ugly. Otherwise as said, there is really no need for one.

I never do. It usually ends up being more efficient to come in to the office if I need to get some work out. If it's just a matter of sending files or corresponding / making minor text edits I will remote in, but doing excel work at home on a laptop kinda sucks.

It is my understanding that as an SA, there is little use for a bag.
However, if you are going to buy one...buy something simple and professional.

Good luck and congrats.
