Gumtree easily for 4-500, where I got mine, no complaints

Gaming chairs suck, period (coming from a gamer btw)

Get good second hand chair like Steelcase gesture. I got a new one for 1000 EUR and do not regret it one bit.

Thanks D1, I saw that website via Googling as well. I am strongly considering getting the Aeron from there

I bought a used Steelcase from Corporate Spec. It was 9/10 condition, with just some minor marks on the base.

Company gave me £400 to spend on office equipment so I bought a really good chair

Anything from Herman Miller, I bought a £350 which normally retailed from around £550. Absolute dream especially with the longer hours at home.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
