At home desk setup suggestions? Any products you highly suggest to make working from home comfortable and easy to use? Thoughts on standing desk, a ring light etc

Hi everyone! Does anyone have suggestions on a good standing desk or ergonomic chair?

Any good office chair recommendations for ~$100-150?

What are the BCG ring fences and how is each one? Can you join any of them or are you required to do the one closest to your home office

Wow. I finally got a standing desk and it is LIFE changing 🫶

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

Anyone using your tv as a second monitor these days? Any advice on doing this wirelessly or without a giant HDMI cord going across my living room? I tried chrome cast and I don’t want to just mirror my screen, I need a dedicated second monitor. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a freelance or home office job as a paid media analyst or any jobs in the Digital marketing environment.

Stupid question: do you get to alt-travel? Not fly home to your home office on the weekends, but use that budget to fly somewhere else?

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.

Thinking having a 24’ HD and a 28’ 4K monitor setup. Is 4K for excel not necessary? How about 28’ monitors?

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Is anyone’s company offering to pay portion of your rent as home office expense? Especially if company is no longer paying for commercial office space?

BCG fishes: If you make a temporary transfer to another office for 12-24 months, will your salary (& taxes) come from the home office or the office that you transferred to?

A little late here, but any suggestions/recommendations or watch outs for an automatic standing desk preferably with charging attachments? Looking to invest in a decent one around $2-300 !

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

So unmotivated in every other aspect of life except work. Haven't been to the gym. No balanced diet. Personal chores piling up. Ugh. How to get started when so many things need to get done?

Has anyone worked at CFGI? How does the work life look like? I’m potentially pursuing an opportunity and any insight is very much appreciated!

Where did you all move to Toronto from?

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

Why is this bowl so cold? 😀

Hi all! Moving in from Dallas. I was wondering if I could get by in Seattle without owning a car?

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

Hello everyone. I work at a Crisis Diversion Facility in Seattle as a Behavioral Health Case Manager. I make $57,000 a year.

All the jobs I look at in my fields are pretty low, and I understand cost of living is lower but still

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

I feel like I wouldn't get many tips as a server because I'm a guy, is this really true or am I just making it up?

Might sound basic, idk what I'm doing. If my home office is in one state but i work for a client in another state for part of the year, should I file taxes as working and living in separate states ?
