Very active gamer here, I'll throw this in:

If you have a basic ass chair, a $90-100 gaming chair is DEFINITELY better. I got a basic amazon one for $90, and it's got some neck and lumbar support that basic chairs don't have.

However I think these guys are right, this probably doesn't compare to a $200+ nice office chair.

Thanks!!!

Remember it’s not just the chair, it’s your posture and eyesight. Are you leaning in because you can’t see the screen well? Are your limbs all making 90° angles when you sit? Feet on the floor, 90° bent knees, 90° bent to sit, 90° at your elbows when you set your arms on the desk.
I have chronic back issues and have been through this with physical therapists many times. Office furniture is built for the average male around 5’8.

Thank you!! Really appreciate your advice here because I was not taking that into consideration and will be more cognizant now of that!!

As a heavy PC gamer, gaming chairs are useless. You’re better off getting a high end office chair

You can also try Purple’s seat cushion. It keeps your butt comfy and helps you sit up straight.

Awesome !! I’ll look into this !!

There has been a lot of review on Ergochair 2 but don’t know how many of them actually bought the chair. Depends on your budget. If you budget is 500+ then go for HM or Steelcase. If you want to save up go for autonomous. Check this review

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
