Hey guys,
I'll be starting as a full time IB analyst in 2 weeks, and my bank has just sent me their work from home package (laptop, 2 extra monitors, keyboard, etc).
At my previous job, my work from home setup only consisted of my laptop and 1 monitor. My question is: is it essential to be using three screens? Is there really an efficiency gain from having 3 screens versus 2?
Thanks!

The third is good for the ‘occasional reference’ document or have open for emails and have some YT going . At least as u start u can have previous deal docs and models, things up to compare and model ur work after, 1 monitor to actually work / model on and one where you’re also doing active research / etc.
Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks man
No, it's not essential
I know some ppl that work with 4 of those massive curved monitors that are like 30 inches or whatever and you can see all the way to narnia on the excel which is more helpful than youd think vs. needing to move across the sheet
