Is it stupid to ask if the company will provide laptop/monitors, if it’s a standard 9-5, lunch an hour? Before accepting job offer

Not a stupid question - I’ve heard of a handful of companies that have bring your own device. More so on the tech & startup side vs professional services though. Just pay attention to phrasing instead of outright asking if you need to supply your own laptop

Example:
Ask HR something like “should I plan to pick up my laptop somewhere on my first day?”

+ “what time do most of the people on my team start?”

I inquired about company provided equipment during a job interview and I never heard back. Either way, I would not want to purchase my own equipment unless it was a good opportunity. I believe it is a very relevant question to ask.

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I hate to see good people go because of money. Why don't the firms just pay them more? It's almost impossible to find new replacement managers and so it would be worth it to pay up.

What nuggets of wisdom do you fishes have for someone who is thinking of getting a CPA/CFA or CFP deep into my career (have a different qualification). What is the most straightforward way (self-financed, since I have another qualification)? These would compliment my work as an actuary.
