Summer Analyst at a BB and wondering what the recommended setup I'm going to need consists of. How many monitors? Should I use Mac or a PC? As for a desk that can be elevated to a standing one, do any of you recommend a specific model? Also open to recommendations on a good office chair, as I have a bad back. Thanks.

I think you should hold off on making big investments into your home setup until you find out what you’ll be doing. I’m in a similar situation, and I’ve heard we could be doing some busy work that wouldn’t require much of a setup.
As the above said, I would hold off.
Regardless, I have a Mac and bought this to run one screen off and it's worked well: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/6838505/Lenovo-C32q-20-315-QHD-W…
This is also good to keep your computer raised: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P54RSPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title…
I'd get a monitor . larger models are much harder to see on a laptop screen
I wouldn't 'invest'. get a monitor on sale and call it a day lol
