4/10. Looks disastrous. Good furniture though. You can get some sort of KVM switch sort of keyboard mouse combo. No need to have two. I also can’t stand when people have two different brands of monitors. Do you actually have a need to use both laptops at once ?

Not piling on the shit talking, but Logitech’s MX Keys and triathlon mouse are great for managing multiple machines from one keyboard/mouse combo. It’s pricey, but I am happy with the purchase.

😂 tough crowd. Tbf, OP did ask for it.

Well you got some easy actionable feedback: deal with the cables and post a new pic. By then it should look less cluttered even with two laptops, two keyboard, two monitors etc.

For the place you have, you don’t need a dual monitor setup. Put the monitor in the center high. Place laptops on either side, look into the monitor when working on it. Sell the second monitor and buy a Logitech multi device keyboard so you don’t have to switch keyboards. This way you avoid neck pain and have space for writing on your desk.

This is my 10/10. If I was judging I’d say you are at year 1, recreation of a corporate setting. I’ve been doing this awhile. I’ll save you a spot. When you get to level 10 you can pickup internet with a yagi antenna just about anywhere.

This is probably a stupid question, but how does one best configure two large monitors with a laptop? I have my laptop to the side and one of the large monitors in the centre. The obvious issue with this his I’m not directly looking at my camera when facing straight forward, so I turn to my laptop for video calls. I guess no other way to deal with this (unless I get a moveable webcam)... don’t want the laptop in the middle and the large monitors at the sides, that seems weird.

Anyone else having WFH fatigue? I had been traveling weekly for business the last 20+ years, but the last 3 months at home has been personally challenging. I love my wife and 3 boys — but I need some “alone time” which I used to have when traveling. Sometimes I get in my car and go for a drive but it’s not enough. Seems like this WFH is the new working model for the future. Anyone else feel this way?

Area: IT Audit and my Year of experience is 10 years and the package offered was 19 LPA. Is it worth accepting the offer? As of WFH as was agreed, however, over a period I have to move to Kochi from Bangalore and my current CTC was 16.7 LPA.
