I really like my Nordace backpack. Not super expensive and has held up well through daily use and as a personal travel bag as well.

I really like Fossil messenger bags (soft briefcase). That may not be low-key

+1 for ebags. I’ve got one for my daily to/from the office (though that’s not really used much anymore) and another for travel that’s big enough for a few days of clothes plus my laptop

Osprey. It's travel oriented, but their backpacks are divine.

I've used my daylite plus for years now, fits my laptop (although could be bigger), and some other basic crap


Always gets conversations started if the client or colleagues are travellers too😅

I have a black waxed canvas Herschel Supply backpack which has treated me well over the years

Tumi is not very expensive and it’s high quality, so what’s the issue?

Spend your money how you like. I’ve never had a client/a manager comment on the stuff I bring to work because it’s not really their business how I spend my money. 🤷

I got a tumi backpack as a grad gift from my aunt and while I did get a semi snarky comment from a SM once, I explained it was a gift from my family member who was a consultant for years and it shut him up. Love mine so much, I use it for personal travel and work equally!!

I got the 30oz peak design, it’s a bit big for city travel but it’s a great travel backpack

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
