Herman Miller is amazing 🥲 wait for their sales… they have 15% off their premium chairs

Holy shit yes you should LOL! Definitely check out these two - love them both! Herman Miller Embody, and the go-to Herman Miller Aeron!

Herman Miller embody chair, bought new around 1500.

Herman Miller desk, bought used for 100 bucks from a company moving offices.

Picked up a used Herman Miller Aeron for $250. Got the Fully Jarvis for ~$550.

I bought it from Nextdoor the app.

I have the Laura Davidson Bowery chair - comes in different color combinations. I purchased it 2 years ago for under $300 on sale at the time. It costs a little more last I checked but they run sales. Desk is the Vari electric standing desk - purchased during their 15% sale last year. Love both.

If you’re into standing desks, check out DeskHaus

I got my chair at IKEA ($50) and got a sit/stand desk from Wayfair ($300, but the same desk is now $450 as I got it on sale a few months ago). Wayfair has stuff on sale all the time, so you just have to search for what you want and wait for it to go on sale or find something similar but cheaper.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?
