How do you feel about companies mandatorily forcing their incoming employees to use Apple? I find it a little weird and tone-deaf, especially in this economy, to expect them to be fluent in iOS for no legitimate reason. Digital marketing professionals don't need to have an iPhone to execute fantastic content; it's so weird to make that a requirement

Going by the numbers, there's a reason. IOS has a larger market share in the US than Android. That seems surprising, but that's the effect of marketing and having people treat their phones like a fashion item. Anyway, I shouldn't think it would be difficult for people to pick up using IOS. That's whole point of Apple, anyone should find it easy to use. But, you have a point in that you don't need to hop on the Apple bandwagon to make good content.

How do I feel about it? I don’t like it at and wish all employers gave a choice. But unfortunately some companies have a preference and have a specific set of hardware/software that they can provide.

That being said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect employees to be fluent and learn additional operating systems. Plus you’ll most likely encounter a lot more tools and software in the future that you may need to adapt to (and learn), and those might not be as intuitive. Learning how to use additional software is a great skill to have.

Wait they’re making you purchase a phone? Work should be done on employer provided devices.

@Senior Product Manager1 Not mine, but I've heard some say their company insists they purchase their own.

If you feel that way - just quit and don’t buy the phone 🤷‍♂️

In a perfect world, we’d have a choice. I’d pay to not use windows though

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
