^ extra pair. Saved my ass a few times when I had to stay extra night for client or flight cancellations.

Toiletries, extra underwear, socks and obviously shoes, chargers, whatever you need to jot down notes, headset/headphones, mints, extra shirt or top just in case, badges, ID

Tablet with all your tv channel/show apps, extra undies and socks.

Boarding pass

Yourself

My first comment was a joke, but depending on what state your from you may need a second form of ID as the TSA will not accept some state drivers license anymore.

Same location each week? Second weekender bag with set of toiletries and stuff you don't want to schlep every week. I have a bullet and protein powder, PB2, and second pair of good running shoes. Leave with bellman.

Shirt, pants, shoes, clean pair of undies

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young. Since then I have built a great track record at my previous job in sales, succeeded in a project manager internship, and have exceeded at the role for a year now. Unfortunately, I do not like the direction the company is headed in and want to move on. I have gazed at new companies but the lack of “education” seems to be a reoccurring obstacle. Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?

Do you lose unemployment benefits after you receive a job offer but before you start? I know it may vary by state, but haven't found anything specific (MA).

They ask if you have an offer, and I know looking for a job is a requirement to receive benefits, so wondering if saying I have an offer and no longer looking would disqualify me.
