Congratulations!

1. Only a coat if it gets cold. I don't see anything missing.

2. Tie to start (always for the first week when starting at a new client, unless told otherwise). Dress down after a while only if others do too.

3. Always carry-on! You can easily do it. Bring 1 spare shirt just in case of stain, tear etc.

4. Doesn't matter. I bring a (nice) backpack

5. In the carry-on. Then iron your first night in (iron for the whole week - you never know which nights you'll be grateful you don't have to iron). Every hotel you'll be staying in has an iron. Also, if you're staying back-to-back weeks you can get a laundry service.

If it's a short flight to client, wear the suit. If longer, I go casual and bring a suit-bag with the ironed shirt inside to change into once landing (if no morning meetings, tight arrival schedule etc.)

Best of luck!

Hi A,

1. Surely, coat will be fine and elegant.

2. Definitely, a suit with a tie.

3. I would prefer a carry-on, it is always convinient.

4. Actually, that does not matter, depends enterily on what you prefer.

5. You can iron your shirts at the hotel.

Best, Andre

Hi there,

I loved the topic, such a nice problem =)

1- You are good. Don't worry, if you feel you need more, you can buy later.

2- Suit + Tie

3- Mostly carry-on. Mostly you can fit all. Typical consultant life. Of course there is no rule =)

4- I always use a backpack. You can choose something you like. Make sure you have your pen and notebook =)

5- I carry my shirts separately in the suit bag. You can use the hotel ironing service.

Cheers

Hi,

It's a really nice problem ti have:)

1) We don't know the weather in your location:)

2) The suit, always wear a suit and a tie by default. You'll know when you can wear smth else

3) Carry on is better and faster. You need to save time to sleep and you don't want to waste the teams time

4) No one really cares whether you have a backpack or a leather bag

5) You can always iron at the hotel

Best

I can only comment on the last point, I am transitioning from VC/startup environment as well.
I use a suit-holder / bag (for lack of a better term) for 2-3 day travel.
