Curious how other firms are handling work from home subsidies, stipends, etc. since COVID has resulted in mostly remote work for many of us Anyone mind sharing what, if any stipend or reimbursement your company has offered for setting up a home office, higher speed internet to support video calls, etc.?

Originally nothing due to no layoffs, and funding our bonuses. Recently announced $250 (net taxes) one time stipend

We didn’t get anything

That said we did get a small mobile monitor and some cables to make WFH easier. I believe they also said that if we wanted to have full monitors or office chairs shipped to us we could but it seemed like a hassle so I did not do that (also I already had a big monitor)

One time $250. No high end electronics.

Nothing

Nothing, but honestly saving a ton not having to commute or travel... just the dry cleaning savings is thousands over a year

$1500 for home office, $600 one time payment for anything, additional $$ for childcare.

All levels -
Just need to be full time.

No stipend, but we did receive an external monitor

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.
