I tried it a few years back. It’s more annoying than anything. Just invest in a solid ergonomic chair and cushion, and get a stand for you laptop/monitor to raise them to eye level.

Spotify in a hiring freeze?

I was in the final rounds for a job and the recruiter reached out saying it was paused and hiring is slowing down. Can anyone at Spotify speak to what’s going on there? Is this expected to last for a while? I was really excited about the role and felt like it was mine to lose.

Thanks 🙏
