Thank you! Will check It out. Has awesome reviews

You can usually find used Herman Miller & Steelcase Leap’s for $400 or cheaper. I’d check Facebook marketplace and Craigslist.

They’re often from offices that went out of business, and you might be able to find one where they clean / steam the chair for you.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
