I mostly work from home and have a home office with a great adjustable desk. However, my chair is crap! Any suggestions on the best ergonomic office chairs? (Don’t want to spend $700 on a Steelcase)

+1 - surprisingly, gaming chairs are super comfortable and have been good on my back/posture. Plus you can recline all the way back and when working - feel like you’re in a GT car! Accelerate to success!

I've found that you will have to spend to get a good office chair. I have the Herman killer embody and highly recommend it. I did the Aeron for a while as well, but overall the embody is more comfortable and once you option out an Aeron the price is comparable.

If you do go that route get a black seat upholstery. I managed to spill coffee on my light blue embody. I was able to get most of the stain out....

One of my clients actually had the full Herman Miller setup, and I ended up buying their new high backed Cosm chair, which I *love* and is actually much cheaper than the embody. Also, they have a twice annual sale with free shipping and 15-20% off I think, and you can wait for that. But 100% agree with kpmg1 that the investment is definitely worth it.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
