“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
I used to carry around a nylon Tumi until I realized there's really no need to bring a bag to and fro every day. Just leave one in the office.
Plus, when you walk into the office late it's really obvious that you just showed up; whereas, if you walk in sans bag, you can play it off like you were in a meeting or something. ...a great tip from a departing analyst last year!
In the US, those are called purses and only women carry them.
I'm guessing you're one of those people that wears a backpack to work like a highschooler?
EDIT: I just looked up that bag and it's a legit woman's purse...Europe is so weird.
Official WSO Unacceptable Work Bags
1) A large purse/ mom carry-all bag 2) School Bag e.g. LL Bean monogrammed, JanSport, Eddie Bauer, etc 3) Rolling suitcase style bags (if you cannot carry your laptop via your arms/shoulder you are a one-punch-kill)
CONFIRMED >>>
Spaghetti straps are for womens' dresses

I will neither confirm nor deny the fact that one of my analysts has come into opsland wearing tony hawk shoes.
I figured your husband picked it out for you
i'd give you points for your subtle way of asking but then again... so to be clear: no, i won't go with you. not because i have any problems with homosexual men as such; besides the fact that i am not gay we're just too different you and i. you, the annoying, spotty kid who eats for comfort whilst being bullish on the keyboard; me, who if prompted somewhat hopes you'll also get a chance to feel happy one day but who otherwise doesn't care much about it.
holy fucking tool lol. you spent $600 on a women's bag, bud
This is what I rock, but sometimes I'm afraid MDs will think it's too much:

I use the bag my firm gave everyone during training lol. Works well enough. Pack my gym clothes in a backpack. Honestly nobody is going to give a shit.
