Get refurbished monitors

Won't BDO give you one?

Get portable. I can set up on my couch or home office.

Buy the Sony 4K tv and use as monitor

Check out Amazon. Some times they have great deals. I have an Acer 23in for $90 and a 24in for about $110. Both are 1080p

Get one of the new HP portable monitors.

I purchased a cheap 1080p 25" and am pairing it with the portable HP monitor from corporate. They're meh. I'll probably build out something good (dual/triple curved) in a few months.

But its been a few weeks and the smell of the poly is strong when I'm near the desk. I can't stand it, does it eventually go away? Anyone have expertise on this? Tia!

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!
