Tumi Carson for more casual trips and a longchamp leather one for “fancier” trips

It’s actually not heavy at all. Slightly heavier than my Tumi by a teeny bit, but still very comfortable for a work trip. Just not as many convenient pockets which is why I save it for fancier trips!

I have the largest Tumi alpha backpack (unisex kind not one geared for women) and it's perfect.

Osprey Fairview. Also has a fit for women as well. Greatly organized bag that looks professional while being casual at same time.

Timbuk2 has great options in black that are lightweight, clean and very functional. I’ve been team backpack since my late 20s.

Day owl!

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

My career counselor has seemed kind of cold towards me lately and I’m not sure why.

For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine
