I like the luggage / laptop bag idea. But....shoes or watch or solid because they transcend the workplace and girls notice nice shoes and some notice nice watches. Likewise....assuming you're a guy.

I was in a position of leadership before being demoted earlier this year. It wasn’t called that, but I was given a different role and they hired someone to take my spot. My boss has since expressed regret for this decision calling it hasty on his end

I had access to all the things I was managing for months into my new role and discovered when they hired 5 new entry level positions, all got 45k (women) except one, who got a 60k (1man). The 60k man works on my team and is sort of awful.
