Recommendations between 4K vs. 1440p for a 27” or 32” monitor? Not concerned about gaming so either should be fine at 60hz. Is there a discernible difference at the 27” size if I’m sitting 2-3ft away?

1440p is great for productivity (I have a 27")

I have a 32:9 34” 1440 for productivity. It’s awesome. I wouldn’t go smaller than that. And after working on a 24” 1080 the last 2 months at home, I would not recommend anything lower than 1440. Happy to finally have the better monitor.

Go with the 4k, it’s standard at this point

Yeah but for a monitor there’s an astronomical price difference between 1440 and 4K at these sizes. If you’re not doing detailed creative work it’s just overkill.

1440 works very well for 27in.
You can drag 4 tabs in all 4 corners and still have full readability of the text.
Keep in mind 4K will suck more processing power from your computer. Work laptops are mostly i7s and technically can handle it but we all know sometimes even excel can freeze top rated machines. 4k won’t make the laptop freeze but you can expect the fan to go Gaga.

If you aren’t gaming on it, why even do either? 1080p will be just fine.

This is false, 1080p looks bad on monitor of that size. Specifically text (which I'm assuming is important for office work)

like

Go with the 32”. You’ll regret going smaller at some point

Don’t go for 1080. I have a 27, 1440 and if I change the resolution on it to 1080 I just can’t live with it. For 32, 1440 is a must. 4k only if you just don’t care about the extra cost.

1080 for work alone is fine but get one that supports USB-C, no more cables!!!

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
