Your work setup

What’s your work set up like? How many monitors do you have? 4? 2? 1? Which side do you dock your taskbar? Do you have an office? Can people see your screen? When you look up do you have a view of New York City like the wolves? What do you always have on your tabs in chrome (aside from this forum duh)? What about IE if your firm bans chrome? My firm blocks this forum so I’m checking on my phone. Eager to know.

I have a messy desk on which sits my laptop. My view’s my back yard with my two collies. The cats can see my screen, but they don’t care. I have my e-mails tabbed, as well as AnalystForum, the editor for my website, PayPal, blackboard, and a few other fora.

Exciting in spades, no?

2 monitors. Primary screen on left. On chrome I have open; CapitalIQ, iLevel, newsmap.jp, PE Hub, Analystforum, Linkedin. I have a view of downtown Boston.

Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird FTW.

Office with a U-shaped desk, one monitor, too many tabs to name that are open on my chrome, but SNL, CapIQ, AF, and Bloomberg are always up, no matter what. People can see my monitor when I leave my door open. My view includes a nature preserve and a lake in the distance.

One desktop, two monitors and two laptops. When I’m bored, chatting with myself.

I’ve got an office with an L-shaped desk (Humanscale adjustable sit/stand), with 2 external monitors and I have a third screen with my laptop in its docking station (mostly keep email and chat down there). Chrome tabs are usually just Gmail, FINVIZ and Morningstar Direct cloud. My office is pretty isolated, which is awesome. I’m at the end of a hall, 6th floor (top of our small building) but the view is not spectacular - some greenery and trees and a couple other office buildings in our corporate park (suburb dweller here). You can’t see my screen unless you’re sitting in my chair.

Own office with a window, laptop with second screen (24"), wireless keyboard and mouse. I also have another table for my color printer and photos for family etc and some storage. I use the second screen for financial systems, google tab, and my laptop screen for client mgt, email, word, excel.

2 monitors; left is the default & square shaped, right is secondary & wide view (also a little brighter than the left screen - one is dell, the other is acer). Economist on my desk along with phone, wallet & notes etc. I have various work programs open. Chrome usually has youtube (for music etc), various search & company tabs, along with youjizz if it’s after hours. View of Park Ave in NYC.

Just add https:\ before the AF URL and you should be able to access it from work. I got 2 external monitors for others to see how complicated my models look. The laptop screen brightness is slightly dimmed - that’s for Quora, AF, Gmail, and my brokerage account. I’m in a cubicle. Looking up I see office rooms of senior principals with their names on the door.

2 monitors, messy L shaped desk, not that great of a view, but i do have a door and a window, cant be that mad

Tabs - salesforce, capiq, GFData, dataroom, ibisworld and HR / PA tabs.

4 monitors - all equal 2 vertical to the left, 2 on the right stacked horizontal with the bottom one being the main; circle trading desk/open office type dealio. When i look up i see tvs with BNN and CNBC jacked up on the massive pole that our desk surrounds. Evrabodah can see my screen as they walk by/are on the outer circle behind me.

3 monitors desk is part of open trading floor layout.

I have two 24 inch wide screen monitors that others can see and my laptop/docking station sits where I can open it up and have a private screen. I also have a standing desk which I like more than I expected. We’re in an open floor plan with ~18 inch high cube walls (measured from the desk)

My friend had a lot of monitors in college, and people just kept sneaking into his room to put Meatspin on all of them. People were getting too into Meatspin that year.

anyone have an assistant? like someone to set up your appointments, book travel, do your filing? dedicated assistant = baller. non-dedicated = between hacksaw and baller.

Yes, but not dedicated. Only EVPs and up have dedicated assistants.

Edit: So I guess that makes me Ballsaw?

L-shaped desk, 2 monitors and laptop in an open layout with view of boston fidi. left is mostly outlook / platforms i use, right is dedicated for plugins and porn.

ballsaw - that’s perfect!

i used to be ballsaw, now i’m just hacksaw.

4 monitors with a view of Victoria Harbour
