I'm an incoming IB 1st year analyst and will be working from home on Sundays and weeknights. What are the absolute MUST for my home set up? (keyboard, mouse, and monitor recs/anything helps) thanks! I’m planning on getting one large monitor to resemble my office set up

2 32 inch monitors (although one monitor + laptop generally sufficient as long as monitor is decent tbh), real keyboard, mouse.
Also highly recommend getting an adjustable standing desk. You can find for $200 on amazon nowadays
Get the Logitech mx master mouse with the side thumb scroll wheel. Absolute godsend for scrolling horizontally around sheets, PPT slides, whatever. You don’t realize how great it is until it’s taken away from you.
Things I bought that added a lot of value, ranked by importance: 1. 2x32 inches screens (Dell U series are prob the best) coz you stare at it for so long; 2. Herman miller chair to avoid your back being sore 3. Comfortable mattress to ensure you sleep well 4. Standing desk. Standing desk ranks last coz you won’t be standing long anyway.
