Might be starting at a small agency as a full time Junior AD soon, fingers crossed. It's my first full time position since WFH began.

Other ADs who have transitioned to WFH, what equipment do I absolutely need in my at home workspace? And how should I bring it up?

Thanks in advance!

I currently have a 2015 MacBook Pro that’s running on fumes. An Wacom Intuos Pro. A mouse. A few external hard drives. And a second screen.

If you're working full-time and this is not a independent contracter position, your agency will provide you the equipment. Don't worry until you start, that way you have a chance to ask fellow coworkers and the IT team.

Hmm, it shouldn't matter if you are remote OP, they'll send you the equipment wherever you are. If you're super concerned with it though, I recommend that after you sign the contract just let HR know that you'll need equipment sent to you sooner than later. Most of the time it will be a one-to-two business day shipment. Your first couple days of work shouldn't be too extensive since you'll be onboarding.
