Aeron

Pulled the trigger on aeron.

Been using an embody now for a year or so and it’s been fantastic. Plenty of adjustment options and the back molding makes it comfortable to sit in for longer periods.

Wasn’t a fan of the mesh and “butt feel” of the aeron 😂

Go with the Embody

A1, no!
I don't wanna 😛

If those are the only choices, I liked the Embody better.

If you want to expand your options, I highly recommend Steelcase chairs.

I went with the Leap V2. Best combo of adjustability, personal comfort, and aesthetics. You can get pretty good deals on refurbished ones.

I have an Aeron in the office and I get uncomfortable by the end of long days. Long days in the home office, not so much.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

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.

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 ?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

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.
