Some of my friends got generous WFH stipends (like $1,000+) while my company gave us nothing beyond a laptop. Does your employer invest in your home setup?

I got 500 but invested a lot myself probably north of 5k. If yoh want amenities, go into the office ir buy it yourself

Yeah companies don't want you to wfh anymore lol

According to some people, you save a lot of money working from home. Shouldn't some of that be spent on your home setup if needed?

I thought most companies would rather have you in the office since they sunk Money into it.

Now you’re asking them to sink Money into your home office with a negative ROI.

I have a couple friends in that bucket. They bought a fancy desk, high end chair, etc when they started a new remote job.

Much more common is getting a laptop, a monitor, ... and not much else.
We get a ~$100/mo allowance for things like that, but most ppl seem to treat that as extra salary.

We get a docking station & extra monitor upon request. I wouldn’t expect anything more than that since I’m a salaried adult.

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?
