Are monitors worth it for Summer Analyst WFH?
I'm staring my SA in a few days and the bank has sent me my laptop already and I was just wondering if it would be worth it to get some monitors or if that would be overkill?

Yes, they make you significant more effective and only cost ~2% or what you’ll make
yeah. took my xb1 4K monitor and put it to use. crucial imo
dude yes these are clutch, plus it makes everything feel more like a work setting, which is helpful
I wouldn't be able to do my job efficiently without at least one monitor.
Absolutely. One cannot work in finance and not have 2+ monitors. If someone is working with solely a laptop, they ain't getting shit done.
Absolutely buy a monitor. They will significantly increase your productivity.
Even if it's just for a shortened SA? Won't need it after a month.
yes, you can get one for like 80-90$ its makes sense
imo you’d be surprised at how hard it is to go back to a laptop after using a monitor for a while. even if you think right now you won’t use it after your SA stint, you’ll probably want to keep using it after you get used to it. it’s a worthwhile $100-150 investment
