You could probably get a Herman Miller Sayl for a little over $500. I love mine!

This is the right answer. There are so many nearly new Herman Millers for sale at great prices due to many companies giving up office space. Exactly what I did and couldn’t be happier with it.

Also, search for office furniture liquidators in your area. I got a used 2015 herman miller aeron b for $500 cash. All bells and whistles. Best purchase I’ve made for my home office.

If herman miller is your choice, there is a dude on youtube who teaches how to spot a good deal by teaching things to look for when buying an used HM

Second this. I got a herman Miller for a $200

Branch Ergonomic Chair

I got a Zerman Ziller for 100$, it’s the cousin of HM.

I got a secret lab. Suited me much better than the crazy prices Herman Miller (though there weren’t decent used ones for $200 in my area so that could be a decent option if it’s in good condition)

I bought into the secret lab hype after watching streamers and some gaming tournaments and purchased one myself. Would not recommend, the lower back support is poor compared to HM and the wings that are suppose to hug you are mostly an impedance.

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?
