Question Autonomous.ai standing desk: is the top made of wood? Feels like good quality? I already have a desk where I could keep the top board, and debating if I should get the frame only or the full standing desk ($65 more).

Sorry can’t exactly tell you if it’s made of wood but I also just got the frame from them (and a smaller desk top from Amazon). It works well so far.

It is made of bamboo. I bought it in Aug 2020. Waiting time was 2 months😀

Yea. The top is made of wood. But with sort of a laminate over it. The frame comes with the controller that memorizes position. I would say go with the frame, if you already have the top. It ships quicker that way as well.

Get full standing desk. It’s really wonderful.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
