Need some advice on home office equipment and furniture. I have a second bedroom which I plan to place my desk and my stationary bike as we are still remote. I do want to upgrade and get a peloton bike but I am also looking at upgrading to a sitting/ standing desk with an added desk bike. Would this be redundant? Anyone who has a desk bike, do you actually use it while working?

I think the Peloton is more hardcore workout vs. use while you're working. I don't see why you couldn't have both, though. One for when you're working and one to just workout.

That’s what I was thinking, I just didn’t know if two bikes was too many. Haha. But I think I’ll get both. Thanks!

Go for it! Especially if you have the means. You'll find that the corporate/9-5 sucks up so much time that could be dedicated to working out instead so if you can have the best of both worlds, why not?

I’ve been using this setup in our spare bedroom since Covid. Don’t get a peleton just get a smart trainer and some software like Zwift.

2 in a small space will be too much. My desk is also a night stand…

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
