Who the fuck cares bro.

No one cares, but it's more to see what people like most. I used to carry a backpack but I found it pretty inefficient given that I put only the laptop. Any suggestion also in term of brands is accepted 🥺

I usually bring my Longchamp Le Pliage, which is about the most basic bag one could bring, but it works for everything I need including a 15" laptop. 

I sometimes feel like everyone has this bag. It's pretty big, durable, and not too expensive. 

If you're cool with taking a few jokes about wearing a purse, then I'd say go for it. 

Go backpack. Much more practical and you have more room for various things: water bottle, keys, wallet, jacket, books etc.

Briggs & Riley backpack or briefcase. A bit pricey. 

Tumi Alpha Backpack - Literally everyone on my team from AN to MD has it. Bit pricey for students tho. Anything that looks similar should be fine.

If you're an SA take whatever works. Backpacks are best. Don't carry your laptop around in the duffel your firm provides as it's utterly useless for that. And don't drop a ton of money on a tumi or something just yet. No one will care, just focus on performing well.

For my SA stint I had an Alpine Swiss bag that worked great (similar to the one below). It’s real leather and holds everything that you could possible need to carry to and out of the office.
