Uplift is great!

I did quite a bit of research on this in 2020 and went with the Steelcase Migration SE. The price point is higher but the motors are modern and it's very stable when raised in standing position. You can also customize it. I highly recommend going with a good brand name because they'll back-up their products with a long warranty period. Steelcase has a 12-year warranty on their desks and chairs.

When I was down in the rabbit hole I was researching the type of motors each of the popular brands use and that was a major deciding factor for me along with stability. There are great websites out there that give really in-depth reviews.

Following too.. my ex had a standing desk that had a glassy white boarding surface, with a phone charging station as well. Forgot to ask her where she got it from, but if anyway has seen something similar please lmk!

Thanks! That desk is honestly great

Vari is the best out there

Uplift. Expensive but so many options

I didn't. I was recommended uplift and was given a discount so jumped on it. But in sure there are other great options that are cheaper!

Uplift DOES say they have a 20 year warranty though. Haven't needed to use it yet but might potentially be worth the investment if they're lenient with fixes/replacements

Go to Samsclub, they have one for 299$ which works great with two large monitors

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.

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!

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
