Anyone use a curved monitor? Pros/cons? I won’t use it for gaming, but there is a sweet 35in one on major sale today. Thinking about using the WFH subsidy on that and keyboard/mouse. Other good monitor recommendations welcome!

Yes, I’ve got a 34” ultrawide monitor and love it. I previously had two 20/22” screens, so while my current setup isn’t technically as wide as with my previous screens, it does feel much bigger, and cleaner, simply by not having the screen split right down the middle. 10/10 recommend.

It is curved. At first I was unsure, but I enjoy it now. Basically helps my eyes stay consistently focused when panning across the screen and also makes everything feel equally close, if that makes sense..

The primary use case for curved monitors is gaming since it improves peripheral vision. Downsides are that they’re not as thin, often have restricted ergonomics / range of motion, and typically aren’t capable of portrait orientation.

Apart from the novelty factor, I’d recommend sticking with a high-end 4K panel with good ergonomics if you’re going to use this predominantly for work.

Agree with D1. Have the same monitor, can’t recommend enough.

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships. How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

I'm a SWE from Italy. Love my country but salary and taxes here are outrageous. Got 2yrs experience in fullstack and data science, 2masters, a peer reviewed paper and outperform all my peers for 24k€ a year.
I'm thinkin about landing a remote SWE job (leetcoding and building a portfolio this summer).
Have you got some advice? Is it possible to work for US remotely without visa? What other countries pay well? Is it possible to land a 100k$+ with this kind of experience and working from Italy?

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job.

I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
