Don’t get a backpack for work - you’re not at school - if you’re consulting half the battle is image!

Backpack for travelling sure - everyone is different - I quite like the Arcteryx fit

We should do an analysis comparing the correlation of the rise of backpack uses by consultation the ME and the tightening of the market / reduction in opportunities for consultants. Could yield interesting insights.

I bought an ISM backpack like 10 years ago, still going strong

two separate categories for me

I use a b&r medium cargo for work / clients

travel I use a 45L peak design pack + a matador packable day bag (i think it’s called the reframe or similar?)

I personally have a Tumi Hannover briefcase when I go to the client site. And a Rimowa Never Still Large backpack when I am traveling.

Porsche Design - not as stupidly overpriced as Tumi, but functional, nice design and adaptable between work and personal life

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color? My interior zipper broke and I stopped in a store to ask if they do repairs and they said to bring it in and they’ll just replace it. I wouldn’t hate switching the color but feel weird asking for some reason

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.
