I finally got a job offer after months of searching and it’s lower than what I asked for. They’re acting like it’s generous and competitive but it barely moves the needle for me financially. I can't help but feel like I've taken several steps back in my career. Any tips to overcome this feeling?

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 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.
