What WFH budget 😂

like

I don’t think we even had a budget like that 😋

Bought a chair

Another month of bills

1 saltine cracker

Monitors + under our fitness fund eligibility ergo chair, desk, keyboard, mouse, laptop stand and monitor arms.

Remember if you start having back problems or injuries, you can file for workers comp during wfh! Companies that gave out the wfh budget, did it to minimize their liabilities. Now that you may have bought a proper desk or ergonomic chair, their liabilities are reduced. Both win, employers and employees.

Always someone

Upgraded my homelab, since I already had a good wfh setup.

🥜

Airpods pro and an egonomic computer mouse

As equipment for Teams meetings. A colleague of mine got a Bose headset approve so after that a lot of people in my unit followed suit and got different brand headset. Apparently expenses under 1k is approve automatically in my company so unless they are called “gaming” our something it seemed to be fine

Chair + standing desk on Autonomous.ai with referral code r-fd299c

Computer chair, monitor stand, mouse pad and wrist rest pads

I bought Smartdesk 2 (not the premium)
I love it. So far so good. Comes with a good warranty and got discount using R-FLAT30

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
