Hello.
I will start working in an IB in a MO position.
What should I bring to the first day?
Should I bring whatever I usually bring in a backpack or is to sloppy?
Thanks

Friendly tip: make sure you spellcheck your work so you're not writing "Advide" when you mean to say "Advice" :)
Bring a notebook with you whenever you are working and write everything down.
Consolidate questions for whoever is training you and ask them in bunches vs 1-off. Don’t ask the same question twice or make the same mistake multiple times.
Check that your zipper is up.
