Tips on having the right headset at work for remote calls? Want to look classy wearing one since I’m in a suit everyday. The current one (jabra wireless) makes me look like a call center agent (no offense intended). I’m think AirPod max or or the new AirPods for a sleeker discrete look? I don’t listen to much music so I don’t need it outside of calls. I want to be able to calls from my windows laptop (Bluetooth) and my iPhone.

I use Bose - they’re bigger but I don’t look like a call center agent. Sleek EarPods lose charge and connection too much.

Personally, apple headphones don’t work for me, when I connect them to my laptop the quality is crappy. So I just bought the hands free tiny professional headset (for one ear at a time) and use that instead. Long battery, looks better, fit in every bag, sometimes people don’t even see it at all. Con: you might look like a businessman from 2000s lol

I also bought it through my company website, in case you need to expense it. They should have it available.

Galaxy buds old or new are probably cheaper if this is only for calls.

Wired apple headphones - can’t go wrong

Hello Folks,

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
