Following. I did get a dope LG monitor from Costco that was on sale. Love it but also looking for other recs.

BenQ gaming monitors are great. Get an ultrawide too you will be glad you did.

What kind of work are you doing? A lot of times one big ultra wide is nicer than two monitors. Also less cords if you like to keep things tidy. Make sure your laptop is powerful enough to run a nice monitor though.

Mainly pdf work. Looking for new laptop to almost exclusively hook up to monitor

I second the BenQ monitor suggestion. Tbh would just set a deal alert on Slickdeals and just eventually get what fits your budgets & preferences if timing isn't an issue.

Seems like hiring has slowed down but i feel we are in for another bout of great resignations due to companies calling it's employees back now and employees finding ways to continue WFH. The ones who get lucky continue WFH while not so lucky ones will start switching and startups and other mid level companies cashing in on the talent. Looks like it's the lull before the storm.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.
