Can someone recommend a reasonably priced desk chair? Less than $300 and not too big/bulky? My desk area is small and I am also really short

Agree to look at the office liquidators. I got my Herman Miller for $300. Best investment ever!

Check Facebook marketplace in your area for Herman Miller or steelcase if your price range is set in stone. But if it’s not I’d recommend investing in a quality chair you’re going to spend between 40-80 hours a week in it. Your back will thank you!

Price isn't really set but I think you just convinced me to splurge. My back and hips have been screaming at me to invest in something else.

Recommend Herman Miller as well. I have an Aeron I got for around $400 used from a liquidator. Best money I’ve spent. Used hours every day for like 2 years now

Following for recs, and will give you a recommendation to stay away from chairs like the one on this link. Not super comfy and I had to buy a lumbar pillow last busy season. Also pretty bulky and doesn’t fit with smaller desks. Not the worst chair, but hope you can find better

For under $200

I had a Staples Hyken mesh chair back in the day. It was fine for about 4-6 hours for middle-aged me. After a few months of WFH due to 'rona, I upgraded to a Steelcase Gesture, because I was in my chair 14ish hours a day during tax season, Zoom calls with family, etc. and my shoulders were killing me. The Steelcase was worth the price I paid, but if your budget is limited, I think most people would be fine with a Hyken.

I recommend the steelcase leap v2 and herman Miller aeron. I have one of each and got them for ~$400 on fb marketplace. The leap v2 is for sure more comfortable than the aeron, but less aesthetically pleasing

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

How long do y’all like resume bullets to be? I know to keep them to 1-2 lines and to keep the resume to 1 page but I’m conflicted about how to balance details vs white space. I’m in product and see some resumes with bullets averaging 5-10 words that state “Manage roadmap for $200mm product” while others use ~20 words per bullet and highlight product info, process, or impact in a bit more detail.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
