I currently have about $600 to throw at at home office equipment that is expiring in less than a week. I have the essentials:
Desk Chair Laptop stand Phone stand Mouse pad
But I still have $600 to be spent. Anyone have something at their desk that they absolutely love? Maybe one of those under the desk workout pedal things? All suggestions welcome (especially specific items), thanks

Where the fuck are you a director I'd like to come work for this guy...
IPad Pro
I could see iPad being awesome for AS level and up - for making comments and more.
How would an analyst benefit from an iPad? Even taking notes on calls will likely be better typing for speed purposes. Or did you suggest iPad for more personal use?
I use an IPad with a stylus for note taking, I also use it for general work activities and to-do lists. I work in B4 CF (M&A) so have similar procedures to an IB. I also use it to feedback to annotate documents and feedback to grads on the team.

Shame on me for thinking this was some type of air conditioning or fan... not my proudest google search
And an even less proud insta-purchase
Personally spent around that amount on a nice ultra-wide 34 in. curved monitor, and I love it :).
