Essential Accesories & Tools For Starting Your Job

Hey all,

I just started an internship and found that I had to go shopping for quite a few things after not having them readily available in my first few days. I noticed there isn't a thread like this on WSO - so let's get one started!

What are your essentials for work? What do you have and where did you get them? Favorite and most reliable stores/brands/items - share them all. What should an intern in Finance always have readily available, and bring with on their first day?

Examples: Calculators, Briefcases, Laptop Holders, Notecase, Backpacks, etc.

 

Sed non consequatur aut et cumque dolor dicta aperiam. Esse qui amet veritatis aspernatur voluptatem quos. Vero rerum blanditiis suscipit dolores.

Repellat atque minima vel recusandae. Debitis magnam vero maxime dolore sint. Quia sit harum incidunt earum labore. Expedita maiores molestiae ipsa repudiandae ipsa tempore natus ut. Dolores quia sit facilis autem autem repellat consectetur. Velit quasi eveniet velit excepturi qui est nihil repudiandae.
