Dood 2k for a laptop bag?? Does it also complete decks for you while your laptop is stored in it?

It all depends on your personal preference. I'm a big fan of canvas bags like Filson. There are some nice leather briefs out there as well. Tumi is great too if you like the look/utility. I would just be weary about spending that much money on an article that sees a lot of wear and tear, unless you're getting a lifetime guarantee of some sort

That's my guess as well hence my <2k limit. Assume that would be post tax at best, and a reasonable upgrade price.

Dang, hoping you all are getting some generous raises 🙏🏻

I work in fs in NYC, not too much travel and a big fan of leather. Anything on the cheaper side is generally bonded leather or very cheap looking (craftsmanship).

Look at Bally, LV, Saddleback, Dunhill for leather

Good point on the leather comment. Given the conservative nature of FS, canvas probably won't fly either. That being said, I've ruined leather shoes darting into NYC subways so it's not foolproof. Tumi is looking to be a pretty viable option

You are going to spend 2k on a bag ?

While it looks nice, I find leather to be way too heavy. Plus it will get majorly scuffed if you travel a lot.

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project.

For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
