Bags / Backpack for summer interns
Starting my SA at a PE firm in NYC next week - was considering using my north face backpack (small, black) as my bag for my internship, but not sure if this is not professional enough. I don't really want to spend ~$600 on a tumi backpack for 10 weeks. What is the done thing? What would you guys recommend? Thanks!
North face is good, don't get a Tumi unless you want to get made fun of
Is wearing tumi as a intern a bad look? I have a really old one from my dad
Dude what are you talking about, many interns wear Tumis and it’s not like you’re pulling up in some flashy designer bag
I take the lens of make attempt to not stand out, showing up with a $600 bag is a way of standing out to those who notice and critique. You will not be critiqued for showing up with a $40 bag.
a $600 backpack is a flashy designer bag for someone who is effectively unemployed.
A intern is practically unemployed lol
Wouldn't buy a new Tumi, you'd certainly be able to use it for more than the 10 weeks, but a shiny new bag has no upside.
You can bring a nice bag if it's worn in and not ostentatious (not logo-bombed).
Stick with the north face bag imo as long as it's not torn up.
Don't wear north face. So unprofessional. Our last intern wore a north face backpack to the office, and it disgusted us so much our group head grabbed him by the ankles, swung him around like a helicopter, and threw him out the window like an Olympian.
The next intern was too professional with a Tumi bag, making it clear he makes too much money. We gave him a return but changed our internship program to unpaid the next summer.
The final intern came in everyday juggling his laptop, charger, and headset while riding a unicycle. His professionalism was juuuuuuust right
