May I ask how big your place is, and what model you two bought? I’m looking at a single eero pro for a 1700 sq foot two story house. Upstairs only has a tv and doesn’t need super fast WiFi up there.

I’ve had a brilliant idea to use my graduation album as a prop for my laptop and now I can use two screens comfortably.

Aside from actually buying a desk? I bought an adjustable stand for my travel monitor and a full size keyboard so I’m not typing on my laptop everyday.

Got 2 new monitors. Ergonomic chair and new desk are next

OP what chair did you buy her? I’m in need of a new one

Thanks!

I bought a fancy ergo chair last month. If I’m lucky it’ll be here before May. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
