Incoming FT Analyst- Chances of WFH

Hey everyone so I'm an incoming FT at a BB. I'm deciding if I should invest a lot of money in a good WFH setup. The bank said that they want everyone back in the office by October. So I'm trying to decide if it is worth it or not. Even if I only end up working from my room on the weekends do you guys still think its worth it to invest on a good setup. I''m talking about $600 monitors and a standing desk between $1-2K.

My BB offered some pretty substantial reimbursement for WFH technology (monitors, wireless keyboard/mouse, laptop cooling pad, etc.) for last summer SA. Assuming they’ll do the same for FT this summer, consider waiting until the announcement is made official and then go on a buying spree. Just hold onto those receipts!

Interested in code, market mechanics, and trading strategies!
