Yeah, exactly. Not trying to be obnoxious, but I got my first Tumi suitcase in 7th grade because we traveled a lot and my dad goes goo goo ga ga over nice luggage and bought five of the same suitcase at the Tumi outlet (he's also a little OCD). It lasted me close to 19 years of lots of use and I eventually traded in three of those suitcases to get the newest $700 Alpha one totally for free.

When I see a consultant without a Tumi bag, I assume they are not paid well enough and are not trying hard enough..

So if Tumi = Bad and Tumi ="Dandies"/"Prissy men". Then "dandies"/"prissy men" = bad? Homophobic and a hater of quality products, quite the combo!

Yes, trying way too hard

A4 that wasn't aimed at you! I was just trying to be funny and slightly edgy. It didn't work. Instead all I did was make you self conscious. And for that I am sorry. I am going to wipe my tears with my Tumi hanky.

#targusdweeb full disclosure: I happily uses and loved my targus bag until the FB community social shamed me into buying a new Tumi work one. Used a tumi tote before targus, but had to switch to targus back pack bc of a neck injury.

I was going easy on OP until he made his stupid millennial comments. 10:1 OP can't afford one retail. You should get one from goodwill and use a tumi before you judge other people for making good practical decisions

It means that consultant has a bag that will last ten years. Seems like a smart move.

How do you approach collecting documents from a client in response to discovery requests? Particularly with broad and vague document requests that leave you guessing about what the other side is looking for, even after you meet and confer. I’m realizing no one ever taught me a systematic approach to this problem. And that big, name-brand companies are absolutely terrible about record-keeping or even knowing what records they have.

Hey all! Heading into my 4th interview at a global SaaS company this week. I have a year of product marketing experience at a startup (I'm owning all PM efforts for a massive product), and the role I applied for asked for 3-5 years of experience.

Any tips on how I can prep for these interviews? They're with a few Sr. Product Marketing Managers on the team. I've already done an HR screening, call with the hiring manager, and deeper dive with another Sr. PMM.

Any advice is appreciated!
