Hi,
Was wondering whether I need to buy my own laptop for the summer, or if one will be provided by the bank. I'll be doing my SA at a BB in LDN, so not sure if that changes anything. Otherwise, would go for a Lenovo ThinkPad, but it’s pricier than I expected...
Thanks,
Bill

say the bank? Most banks have VM that you use on your own laptop for the weekends, but you will be in office every weekday till 3am using the desktops so what is the issue
For MM Banks (think UBS/Firepower Capital)
Generally you’ll have to bring your own laptop, in extreme cases they’ll provide you a Chromebook.
