Got a secret lab this year and it’s fantastic

I’m not sure on the tall part but steelcase and Herman Miller and a couple others are great. I have a bad back so I know entirely too much about chairs. Also you can get them cheap on Craigslist because people sell them when an office moves or closes. I bought 3 steelcase chairs for $40 each. I think they cost $400 plus retail. I’m still not sure why I bought 3 lol

Pretty much any office chair? I suppose you could have a freakishly long torso and require an extra tall back, but that would leave you with tiny dangling legs over the seat

If you live in a major metro area look for used office furniture stores - there is one in DC which has all the major brands (Herman Miller, steelcase, Bodybilt, etc) for sub $500 lightly used

I’m not tall but have long legs. I got a surprisingly comfortable chair from IKEA 6 years ago and still love it (and it’s height adjustable). I know they have a few options for office chairs, so I would go to a store and test them out.

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?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
