You’re going to want protein to help get you through the day, egg salad sandwich and like a tin of sardines works wonders

María Pérez :
On the first day I always bring something you don’t have to heat up. I always have a sandwich and chips. I bring my Stanley with ice and I have a soda in my lunch bag. I come prepared because you never know what they do and do not provide until you get there

Actual advice, get in the habit of bringing a lunch, buying out adds up so fast

Bring lunch, but make sure you could save it so if someone asks if you want to grab lunch you can go with and make friends!

For sure bring something that doesn’t need heated like a sandwich. That way you don’t have to worry about the microwave the first day you can scope out the lay of the break room and be so ready for day two!

Take something that won’t spoil if you don’t end up eating it. That way you can get a feel how lunch is handled a the office.

Tessa :
I always pack a lunch that is eaten cold but won’t spoil if left in my ba so I have a back up plan incase. Then I can sus out the microwave/fridge situation and if I’m invited out to eat I go

The Department of Lesley :
Don’t go home. Bring something but be open to going out. The last thing you want is to spend your lunch time traveling from one place to another.

Katie ✨💪🏼 :
Bring a lunch, but also be prepared to go out with your new team! I’ve found that at almost every new job I’ve started my team has taken me out for lunch on my first day! Definitely go if you’re invited!

Effy Granados :
First day I would bring like a sandwich of salad, something easy to carry and ready to eat. That gives you chance to explore the place, microwaves, fridges, locations etc 😬 then you can plan for next days. I never bring lunch on Friday’s because I like to buy lunch as a little treat with my coworkers

Bring a lunch- leave it in ur car. that way if you get invited to lunch cool, if you're having a stressful day or feel awkward you can take a car break.

bring a lunch that does not need to be heated up, that way you can figure out how everyone else does their lunch breaks

First you need to ask HR what their spaghetti policy is. If it’s allowed, bring a large gallon bag full of spaghetti
