Yeah

Yup. Totally hosed the math on my first case.

Yeah it can be sub par if you showed promise in the PEI. I wouldn’t say you can bomb it though

I had subpar cases in Round 1 and I was given another chance at round 1 (like a tie breaker) but not officially moved to round 2. Then I didn’t make it any further.

Depends on the office and their recruiting targets

Yes - keep fighting!!

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
