Girl, do you. A very nice backpack like Tumi or knomo will look professional. As long as you don’t show up with a Jansport I think you’ll be fine

I’ve gone backpack to help my back (I have 2 laptops I have to lug around every day) and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. My back health > somebody’s weird opinion about the professionalism of backpacks. I did splurge on a tumi one, so it still looks nice. I actually get a lot of compliments on it from ppl at my client site

I agree that they dont look as professional but I use a backpack anyway. Like another poster said, my back/shoulders/neck/hip/etc are all more important.

Backpack. Not worth the struggle to carry a bag

Have been carrying my backpack from tumi for the last 8 years. Just switched to a new one. No more back and shoulder issues. Best decision ever. I do the matching Tumi luggage too ;)

Backpack all the way. I love my Tumi Voyageur Calais - holds everything I could need, doesn’t rumple my blazer or top, and it’s comfortable even if I’m carrying a bunch of stuff

Backpack - right shoulder got creaky from the bag. No pain now.

I may be old school on this, but I would say bag. You could always do a rolling briefcase as well, but backpacks feel a bit casual to me unless the client is also very casual. Then I’ll make an exception for a very nice backpack

Which Tumi do you use? I am looking

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

Hi everyone,
I am looking to switch and it would be great if anyone can provide referral for BCG, USA.

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.
