What’s the best budget/affordable home office desk?

My home office is NY but I live in NJ and I’m filing taxes in multiple states that I worked in this year. On my W2 federal wages are the same as NY state wages, how do I track down my New York w2 wages without access to my detailed timesheets? Can I just subtract my total wages from the state wages from my W2 of the other states I’ve worked in?

Hi friends! Do any of you utilize a room separator for your home office? My entire front room of my house is my office, but I’d like a room separator to help me with visual distractions. Mind sharing your space for inspiration?

Please share your “must-have” home office chair. I need to replace mine and want something a heck of a lot more comfortable than my current one. Must have wheels and arm rests.

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Standing desk and ergonomic chair recommendations? Post your workplace set up below for some inspo!

Does anyone have a minimalist treadmill for use with a standing desk that you can walk on during meetings and the noise isn’t loud/distracting? (obviously if you’re on camera and walking people will be able to tell) Brand/model reccos appreciated!

Anyone familiar with whay are the levels at KPMG in Singapore? Seems different from my home office

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

is EY GDS providing WFH allowances for home-office set up?

Need for travel has been one reason why some of our jobs could not be outsourced to remote delivery & low cost off-shoring. If travel is fully or >50% eliminated, it can be a real threat to management consulting as we know it. So there needs to be an “optimal ratio” of travel to client locations, home office, and WFH, to protect our consulting models. Since we need some face time with clients, and some interaction with colleagues, the optimal balance should be possible. Share your thoughts.

Hey people, I’m looking to get some ergonomic tech for my new job , where they are giving me a MacBook Pro. Does anyone have suggestions for a mouse and an external keyboard?

Hello. Anyone familiar with iBonds? I started investing a little in March of this year, and while I see the interest rate has changed from 7.12% to over 9%, I don't see my balance growing beyond what I have put in. From what I've read I thought the interest would hit monthly. Also I keep hearing that they are super safe because they're backed by the govt, but what are the actual risks? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

How to get the new company to buy-out us?

The pandemic, mental health issues, and financial stress caused my work to suffer. What do I do?

Went through 4 rounds of interviews for a medium size consulting firm and they said they would get back to me within 3 weeks after completing all other interviews. It’s been 2 weeks now, should I email about an update or just wait? Have had a couple second round interviews since then but not sure if I could mention that

Hey sharks, im looking for opportunities. Any leads?

Ethical question : I had an offer from Company A and they filed a H1b transfer which has been approved. I was going to join them mid Jan but just received another offer which is a higher level in both title and dollars. I did not actively seek out for the second offer. Would it be a big deal to reject the first offer now ?

How do you know you’re going on the right path in life? I’m in my first few months of a top business school and I feel...like I’m doing it for appearances or for somebody else?

How do you travel, and focus, and perform, and do your job when your relationship and world at home is falling apart?

Was on a group call and discussing Team vs zoom. One partner mentioned Zoom security issues and another partner mentioned Zoom being a Chinese company and made a comment that “ that makes sense, you can’t really trust the Chinese” I am Chinese American and somewhat felt offended. Am I being too sensitive?

I’m exhausted and need a week off. No one can cover me on this project. Feeling really stuck. Even a week of working remote would be a big gain.

For those of you that want to move internally to another department within your company, how do you approach the conversation with your manager? Nothing lined up with the other departments but want to give my manager a heads up before doing so. Primary rationale in doing so is that there is not much upward mobility in my team.

How do you speak up when a member of your team simply is not contributing anything, but telling everyone how much they are working on the project, presumably billing for hours not worked, and lying on team meetings/emails about their contributions?

Looking at buying a house. Want to have kids in 1-2 years but ofc you never know how easy that is. Can buy a house closer to friends and more lively, but worse school districts (not awful, just worse) -- or can get one a little farther away, more residential, but better schools. What would you choose?

I see so many posts about loving WFH and never wanting to go back. I can’t relate at all. I miss the social interactions and relationship building. I can’t do this forever.
