Company cellphones normal?
Do all companies give a company cell phone when you start a FT IB position post graduation? Just wondering whether I should update my phone now or wait for company phone.

If you are a permanent employee it is customary that the employer gives you a work laptop and a cell phone. In rare circumstances this may not be the case or they have other solutions (I have seen cloud-only employers where everything was done through online services, etc).
Maybe there is a bank out there that doesn't pay for your phone, but it is in their own interest that your team can reach you.
Thank you!
You aren't going to want to wait for a company phone. You can only use them for company business. So if your point is you get a free upgraded phone for personal use through your work, you are thinking about it all wrong.
You you use two phones - one for work & one for personal use?
Wouldn't they be able to see everything if you used your work phone as a personal device?
yeah dude of course
Some firms have moved to a BYOD (bring your own device) policy. My BB provides a work phone, however it can't even really access the internet. Everything is through a blackberry app. Safari, the mail app, iMessages all don't work. You won't be able/should not use the company phone for personal purposes. Don't even give the number to your friends.
