1L Summer Intern - backpack or messenger bag? Forum

jtype01 · Post by **jtype01** » Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:36 pm

Hello all,

I have a paid internship in D.C. this summer with an IP firm, and was wondering if I should invest in a formal messenger bag or briefcase? I am trying to make a good impression since this 1L internship most likely leads to a 2L internship and then permanent employment. I am leaning towards a messenger bag, since their attire is business professional but I don't want to be seen as a douche.

Thanks for the help!

I lived in Washington for nearly four years. Messenger bags are the norm for men. Just don't get one that is bigger than you need: you'll be walking a lot and won't want to carry extra weight.

Thank you! I am leaning towards a messenger bag.
I was informed that the attire would be business professional, and a backpack doesn't seem to go well with that.

Call me a gunner but I believe Samsonite 29" TCR (only half joking)

Roller with rainbow highlighters is a necessity.
