Like this is a pretty sweet chair at this price https://www.ebay.com/itm/222608649051?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iyc1mCuESDe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Steelcase’s most basic chair is ~$500 (the ready to ship option) and it is worth its weight in gold. Plus, warranty.

True indeed D1, but not a $500 chair, a comfy counter stool is perfect.

Got a used Herman Miller for $300

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!
