I swear by the original Aeron Herman Miller. I have had mine for ~3 years and feels brand new. My partner went for Cosm High back by Herman Miller and loves the neck and shoulder support.

I'll go against the grain and lodge a plus one for Steelcase. I find my Steelcase Leap V2 more comfortable than the Aeron I have at the office.

Second the steelcase leap v2. Back pain is a thing of my past now with this chair

I like the Aeron. Buy a used one to save money. They are super durable and you can buy replacement parts for the pieces that do wear out (mesh is most expensive, make sure that is still in good shape).

CXO Nightingale is great if you want padding for your tushie. Super comfortable.

Find a chair store and test them out! You won't know until you sit in them if the fit is right for you

I have the Logitech Herman Miller chair. Purchased brand new on eBay for $900 instead of full retail. Definitely a must.

Both Humanscale Freedom and Aeron great. I have both and don’t notice a big difference one over the other.

Humanscale Freedom is sexy af but Aeron probably wins after a few hours.

Herman Miller. Go big and get the Eames Executive Chair.

Hey beautiful people,

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

How did you get started in your career as an FA? I work in the home office and have been an assistant to an FA before. I have a network, I have ambition, I have credibility and connections at my firm..

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?
