Whose office here does not have a standing desk? Why hasn’t everyone in big law upgraded to this by now…? if I’m expected to come to the office, at least upgrade the furniture.

My husband and I got a 2 bed apt so I could use the other room as a home office. I have worked in the bedroom and living room for the past 2 years (which has been awful) not to mention I cook, clean, etc. I said I was excited to decorate “my office” and he completely blew up and said I should pay more rent. I hate to be this person but I’m fully remote making 6 figures and he’ll only wfh 3 days a week so I should get the better setup. Any advice on how to split an office space?

The offer is $115k with a $15k bonus. My home office would be in NYC. What do you think about this offer? Low, high, or in the middle?

How much time does it take the Home office to provide approval on CoS. Specifically for SVW?
CoS is taking more time than anticipated and it is getting difficult to plan the actual joining date and put down notice at current firm.

Litigators who work from home and have standing desks. Question from a second year starting at a new firm. The new firm is wfh/hybrid if I chose. My old firm was all in-office. I'm getting a standing desk obviously. My question is: how paper heavy is the life of a wfh litigator? This will decide how big of a standing desk I need. Is 48"×30" enough desk surface space? Or should I get a credenza too for some more paper storage space? I'm new to this so any advice/tips would be helpful.
