Alvarez & Marsal Alvarez & Marsal starting as D in PEPI soon. I'm in the market for some new technology, but don't want to buy if it'll be an option. LAPTOPS: what models are options? Is there a subsidized option to bring you own? MONITOR/PERIPHERALS: are there options to get things for WFH office? And if so, would it be unreasonable to hope to be approved for multiple monitors, including ultrawide, high end mouse+keyboard, etc? Call speaker?

Also, do most use 2 phones or one? What carrier is the plan(s)

You’re acting like the firm is a BK lol

Not in PEPI (different SL) but,

- firm provided laptops, it’ll get sent to you.
- there are options for phones, don’t know the plans
- there are ways to order monitors and peripherals through our IT portal (to my knowledge they don’t just reimburse for anything so hopefully it suffices per your “high end” taste)
- last I checked I know people have gotten 2 monitors

Got it thanks. Not trying to be elitist at all. I'm just planning on buying some things anyways but curious if it'll be supported by A&M hence, I don't want to waste any purchases. Tha ks for the insight.

Phone plans are ATT or Verizon, BYOD or purchase a discounted corporate phone , service is paid for by firm, as far as laptop it’s company provided. Peripherals not sure, didn’t get a stipend.

Are you coming in from industry? There are no BYOD laptops, my model is HP Elitebook but I think the they recently changed, not sure what. There’s a portal to order whatever you need for WFH within reason and yes you can order double monitors, keyboard, mouse and other peripherals. They don’t have an external speaker that I can recall but if you’re coming in as D into PEPI, I think you can afford one on your own….

Is anyone interested in taking over the lease for a top floor 3 bed 2 bath, 1500 SQ ft apartment in a newly built complex in Plaza Midwood? The lease runs through Sept 2023. It's one of the nicest complexes in the city, has close proximity to Uptown, and has excellent amenities (e.g. CrossFit style gym, two pools, dog park, on site complimentary cafe, etc.). My unit has an ideal layout for work from home and a huge patio.

Edit: $3,196/mo including valet trash pickup ($35) and pest control ($4)
