Hi all! Looking for a roomie in Culver City. New Yorker getting into the startup life and transitioning from data engineering to data science.
Looking at the Harlow for a 3 bedroom, want to convert the extra room into a home office: https://www.thewestsidecollection.com/harlow-culver-city-ca/
If you’re interested in the area lemme know!
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!

My recommendation is that you greatly increase you budget for the chair. You will be sitting in it for many hours to come. There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable in addition to being tired, stressed and pressured.

Ikea is still delivering but delayed
I second the recommendation. A good office chair is something you only buy once, maybe twice. Look for an office/give surplus store and see if you can find a good one there.
Frequently chairs are replaced in a group because some of them have issues, but sometimes you can find one like new or with minor damage. My son’s current chair had torn padding on the arms. A little tape and he had a $600 chair for using in his house.
$100 for an office chair? Not gonna get the job done.
Have any friends at architecture firms? Ask them if they can get any discounts.

Hear a lot of great things about Herman Miller and steelcase chairs
But they are equally expensive

Agree on chairs.
For a desk, try the "build your own" tabletop desks from IKEA. Plenty of space and cheap. I don't think they're open but they are doing delivery still, may be expensive depending on how far from IKEA you are.

Wayfair has a lot of good options and usually free delivery. However you probably need to go above $100 for a decent office chair like everyone said.
I bought this desk as I was on the kitchen table before. Great price and gets the job done. I have 2 big monitors and my keyboard on it. Sadly it might be out of stock ... used to be prime shipping.

I recommend Craigslist.
Desk $20 black or white desk from Ikea and buy a more comfortable chair. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/linnmon-adils-table-white-s29932181/
I got a herman Miller aeron for $250 off Craigslist, honestly don't like it that much, too big for me (size c), but lots of people do like them, and it looks great, got the shiny metal one. Lots of other fancy chairs on craigslist for low prices.
Get a cheap ikea table or off Craigslist. And spend some money in decent chair. Check out MyoChair and Egrochair 2 by Autonomous.ai
