I will be starting a remote fellowship with Deloitte GPS later this month as part of the SkillBridge program. I’ve had to work in person the whole pandemic, so this is my first taste of the remote world. What items for a home office does everyone recommend? I’m already looking into a ultra wide monitor and better mouse/keyboard.

Congrats on the opportunity! If you don’t get an external monitor, at least get a laptop stand so that your laptop screen is eye level. If you do get an external monitor then it might be worth it to get a camera as well.

External monitor and a good chair would be primary. Possible stand up desk conversion, some good headphones maybe. Just things to make your space comfortable.

Congrats; that's a great opportunity.

Get a webcam . It will pair well with the monitor.

One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed.
