Depends on what I’m working on. If it’s mindless tedious work I’ll throw on a show. If it requires more brainpower I need the tv off.

You sound like my significant other! But totally agree.

Instrumental music, yes. TV, no. Can't concentrate!

Pre-kids, yes. Since kids, no. But that’s because our tv used to constantly be on before kids and now it’s almost never on.

Headphones are always in with instrumental music on. Only way I can work.

Music on, never TV. The lo-fi YouTube channel is my go to most of the time.

Sometimes I like to throw the baseball game on (live or a replay), but my desk faces away from the TV so it's mainly just for the audio.

At home and in the office too, I have a phone stand and I put in headphones when I’m in the office, I like to have something playing in the background, helps the day to go by faster

A friend is asking me to ask this bowl for any interest for a cyber/risk role for a startup company located in the greater NY area. Background is in cybersecurity risk assessments (and risk and controls implementation). He mentioned specifically those with Big4 experience. Apparently the startup offers hybrid remote work with free transpo from Manhattan and free lunch (!!!) on top of great benefits. Hit me up if interested.
