SA With Broken Phone
I will be going into my SA this summer and I'm fairly certain I will not be provided a phone. My phone works occasionally (I have to turn it off and on sometimes to receive texts, cannot get WIFI, shuts off randomly, and do not get email alerts even though I have that set for ON)
My question is: how important is it that I have a phone that works perfectly for an SA.
You should definitely have a phone. This doesn't just apply to your job, but to anything.
just get a new phone bro
I can't believe people who are able to land SA offers ask questions like this
LOL. Seriously.
You need a working phone.
literally no one has answered OPs specific question can't answer it myself (and im positive it varies from bank to bank), but good luck
Well yeah it does seem like a pretty dumb question, but why I'm asking is because I will get a new phone in September with my contract. So can I just wait it out? Or is it vital to have a phone that notifies me whenever I get an email.
only reputable bank that i've heard of that doesn't give SA's phones is DB...
I guess it's 'possible' if you're willing to be glued to your desk every night/every weekend. You still need to be on call all the time. If you can't be contacted electronically, only other way is if you're at your desk...
What makes you think you won't be provided a company phone this summer?
It is extremely important that you have a phone that is always working properly. While some (I'm guessing most) banks including BBs do not provide SAs will fully-functional phones (i.e. no telephone service) you need to always be able to receive email alerts immediately.
youre aware there are many burners out there that cost like $30-50 that have wifi/email capabilities. get one of those, you dont have to get an iphone/galaxy for this predicament...

Just get a razr
just live at the bank
My buddy said the s4 is the only way to go for Goldman TMT. Is this true? I've always liked iPhones but it seems like that could pigeonhole me into MS M&A. Does anyone with experience in this subject matter have any advice they could lend? Surely there must be some sort of correlation between phone and group prestige.
Do we get to keep the phones we get as SA's?
