Either that or look into drafting chairs and a standing desk. Sometimes it's the option to not sit as much vs. straining your back in comfort.

I second the Herman Miller Aeron. I work from home and spend way too much time sitting on my ass at my desk. Getting the Aeron was the best money I’ve spent on any office furniture ever. No back/neck issues after getting it

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
