Interested to know, did your firms gave you a credit (or wbs) to buy home office supplies? I feel like the Accenture one was pretty low...

No, it was $250 net

My friend in a boutique shop got 2200$.

Its a good package and they can mix match it how they want.

Established people would buy a solid desk and a monitor probably and a back light.

Whilst students would have to get the cheaper version of each component: chair, desk, monitor(s), keyboard, backlight etc.

Think a package is better less hassle and people can get what they want / need.

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’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

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.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
