Have a good office mate

Also, I'm going to be the "loud" one.

How much of a pay cut would people take to have their own office?

In the case of PH, no paycut at all! TTT

.

Are privacy filters worth it? I'm too used to my own office. This blows.

$15K/year. or just work in LA

Not sure why there's so much hate on sharing an office. I shared an office my entire first year and thought it was pretty great. You can bounce ideas off your officemate, work together to find a precedent document and have someone to commiserate with when work sucks. What are the major cons (assuming that the office isn't tiny and is designed to be large enough for 2 people)? Have to wear a headset on the phone rather than using speaker? Maybe I'm missing something but it really wasn't a big deal.

Agree that you'll both take personal calls elsewhere.

What was the setup like. One firm I visited had one guy sitting behind the other.. So if you're the unlucky one you have someone watching everything you do, unless you get a privacy filter or something. That sounds like a nightmare. Plus an even bigger nightmare is my office mate watching porn when I'm not in the office. If you have some say in who you share an office with that might make it more bearable.

Would you rather your office mate watch porn when you're IN the office? (And is watching porn at work really a thing? Do people not have internet at home?)
I wouldn't want someone sitting behind me either, but porn doesn't even enter into it.

That would be win-win, since that Associate would be gone real quick, and you would be solo.

TBH, having an office mate would DEFINITELY make me more efficient. Would spend way less time dicking around on the internet/TLS/facebook/fantasy/whatever.

And for that reason, I would be much less happy.

Also, I thoroughly enjoy being able to change clothes and get naked in my office when needed.
