What to bring on the first day? (SA)
I know this might sound stupid but what do I bring to work for the first day of the internship?
I am going to start on Monday and the only thing I have been told is what time to show up.
I am going to bring a pen, a pocket book and my passport but beyond that I don't know what I need. Should I bring a messenger bag? Food? Water bottle?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Also it is a Canadian bank so I don't know if that makes a difference for what they give me

Just a messenger bag. They'll provide you with food/water/office supplies
Yeah, figure a messenger bag, a pen, pencil and a pocket book. When I was a SA I brought a bottle of water, some cough drops, and sometimes Cliff bars (protein bars).
Summer Analyst - What to bring to the office? (Originally Posted: 04/05/2013)
Hi everyone,
I will be a SA at a top BB this Summer. This may sound stupid but what should I bring to the office on my first day and so on? Briefcase? Padfolio? Nothing?
Thanks in advance!
yeah man definitely a briefcase, Burberry ipad case, oh don't forget the framed family picture
this really depends on if you will have a laptop or desktop for the summer. assuming you get a laptop, i would carry some sort of semi-casual messenger bag (ie: jack spade)...don't bring anything too fancy or flashy (expensive leather bag, briefcase, etc.)...you'll just look like a tool.
None of that is typically necessary. You hardly ever bring your laptop home.
OP I disagree, I highly recommend bringing your laptop home and getting a VPN if they allow it from personal experience.
What if power goes out and there are snow storms how will you be able to work on PP slides?
I don't know, bring a notebook and a pen. If they give you a laptop, they will give you a bag to go along with it.
Ask HR if your worried.
Bring a bucket to shit in while at your desk.
Otherwise just your body. The supply closet is for pens and paper. Don't bring them, that is stupid.
You should bring hand sanitizer. That stuff has saved me so many times when I'm eating at my desk and can't even leave to go to the bathroom.
I would also recommend an ergonomic or soft foot pillow. That way your posture will be somewhat elevated/better and you can use it to relax.
Finally, don't forget your phone charger!
for even asking... maxi-pads.
Get a cheap and conservative looking plain black fake leather messenger bag for $50. Bring a pen and a notebook even though they have supply closets for those just in case you get pulled into a situation where you need them before getting the chance to go to the supply closet or in case you work at UBS and they don't have a supply closet. I like to have my trusty TI-89 on hand in case I need to do a calculation away from my computer - it also makes you look smart, diligent, and like you care about your job if you have it sitting on your desk. The TI-89 also demonstrates you've taken high level math/physics classes and are therefore well-educated.

Why don't you just ask? No idea why he'd have a problem with it and the worst case he explains they have some internal policy that prevents it.

Got the internship, what materials to BUY?? (Originally Posted: 05/21/2011)
Alright, so i got the summer analyst position that I have been working towards at a MM M&A investment bank boutique. I have all the necessary attire but I'm wondering, would there be anything really essential or helpful to purchase before the first day on the job. Like a laptop carry-on, notebooks, calculators, things of that nature.
I appreciate any help and thanks for offering the best advice monkeys.

Bringing a cot for SA internship? (Originally Posted: 05/04/2015)
Hi guys- I'm set to start my summer analyst internship at a BB in about a month.
I was wondering if any of you guys have brought a cot to the office for sleeping? Instead of walking all the way back to my apartment, I figure it would be a lot easier to catch a few hours of sleep in a comfortable cot in the office. Has anyone done this? Should I check with the MD of the group first to make sure this is OK?
If I were you, I'd just skip having an apartment and live at the office on your cot.
Ask them if you can move the office to your apartment.
Its a good strategy if you intend to WinAtAllCosts
I thought this was a troll post until I saw your previous ones.... is this one of your schemes to rack up the OT pay?
This is a very bad idea, and you will come across as one very strange / demented fellow by asking this question. Not to mention that this probably violates a whole host of HR policies
