What brands to pack? It’s Detroit dude

If you have never driven on snow/ice, don’t attempt to drive 70mph or you’ll likely regret it.

Driving in snow is not about speed. Slow and steady. Pump the brakes if sliding. Hat, gloves and scarf. Patagonia is good. Not a huge need for Canada goose since guarantee just going from office to car to hotel. No long walks at all

Winter coat/jacket. Hat. Gloves. Warm socks. Shoes that can tolerate snow/salt or wear boots to work and change into shoes there.

Male or female?
Fjallraven is great for jackets
Dale of Norway or Buffalo Wool Company for hats

Thanks D1. Male here. Do guys change shoes at work too?

That’s helpful D1. Thanks!

Smartwool socks. They have both casual and dress socks for men and women. Warm but feet can breathe

You can find just about any winter gear you need onthe Moosejaw website

Buy a nice pair of Sorell’s. They’re like sneakers for the snow (light, cushioned and yet warm and safe)

Baffin is rated a bit higher for warmth/waterproof wear than Sorel, but Sorel would get the job done

Kevlar vest and timberland boots you will fit right in. Head down to Mr. Allen’s and get a 29.99 two for 50 deal

Off topic, but is it an automotive related project? What’s your service line? I have been trying and trying to find a project there but can’t find a single one in my capability.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months.

My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
