Finance and Business Questions

I’m debating dropping serious cash on a standing desk, ergonomic chair, and extra monitors. Does a high-end setup really make a difference for productivity or health, or is it just hype?

In a fully remote role, I worry about being ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for promotions or big projects. What strategies do you use to stay on your boss’s radar without seeming pushy?

I’ve been working remotely for a year, and async communication (emails, Slack messages) is great for flexibility but feels like I’m less visible to my boss. In an office, you can casually chat and get noticed. Does relying on async tools limit promotions or recognition? How do you stand out?

I’m about to enter salary and work arrangement negotiations for a new job. How can I effectively discuss flexible working conditions without seeming demanding or unprofessional?
