Usually, these tasks are about as fun for me as moving, but it was made much more bearable due to some surprises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have gotten used to paying for my own equipment and software while working as a contractor, so I was pleasantly surprised to receive equipment from Daz.  On day 1, UPS dropped off a very nice work laptop for software development: 16&#8243; 2560&#215;1600 display, 11th gen i7, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD and RTX3050.  The next day, I received a very nice wireless headset by SteelSeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FYI, Daz\/Tafi is making a strong push to hire people in all fields.  If you are in the job market, I recommend you send an application their way.  My experience so far is that Daz has an inclusive, respectful remote-work culture.  In my opinion, the employee benefits are on par or better than other a small to medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still focusing on work-related projects to try to make a good first impression, but I&#8217;m hoping to resume my side-projects in another 1-2 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This website was offline for a few days last week due to a server change, but all should be fixed now.
