I’ve set up the dual screens and home office with cable TV since going remote. Don’t know how I went so long on a single laptop screen.

What are some of your “C19 home office essentials” you’ll have a hard time giving up when/if the travel grind returns?

My KVM switch that I use to switch my monitor from my work machines to ps4 during calls.

You don’t carry a portable monitor with you when you travel?

We get put up in some small spaces too but I dgaf lol. I need 2 monitors wherever I go.

I used to have a TV tuner card in my desktop and could watch tv while using the computer. That was awesome.

I’ll second the KVM, they’re over priced for what they do but they rock.

These days I’m sitting in a couch while my laptop is connected to my TV and my wireless keyboard and mouse are on a TV tray in front of me. The couch folds back which means that I’m pretty chill on calls.

Other perks that I have not made use of but others can. Put a mini fridge next to you. Fill with food an beverages of your choice. You can also get USB coasters to keep drinks warm.

If you can get a dock for your laptop. If you have a modern slim one (with few ports) this gives you a lot more options, in terms of more monitors and USB ports.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
