No... they don't

Lmao plus you have to use your personal phone to install all their shit on it for emails etc.
Yea I had the same thing for HL. It seemed like they expected me to use my own phone for work purposes and all that
Phone was paid for at HL but did not get a laptop until I was promoted to associate.
Nearly every bank does that now, but they do reimburse you for it
I have also heard that they only get 1 monitor in the office... Is this true?
I heard they're using Linux and MS Dos this true?
I heard they use notepad as a text editor
/s
I heard they still use paper spreadsheets to do their modelling.
Bro - Goldman is just a brand name. You will be paid below the market there / have less advantages (such a laptops etc). Also the IT at this company is an absolute nightmare (need to wait 1h when you call them etc)
let me get this straight, you went out to blow $1000 on your own laptop just for work?
