Contrary to popular belief some people that work at Microsoft have macs and vice versa, depends on the team and what work they’re doing. Just ask!
Welcome to the crew! - VMW moving to MSFT as well
Hey VMware fam! Yea I’ve got one foot out the door 😬
One option is to run MacOS in VMW Workstation 🤷♂️
If you role is client facing , there is no way you will get the MacBook. I am based in Germany and I did a good fight to get the MacBook but all went in vain. Because I am customer facing and in Germany they don’t even procure MacBook infact they checked the inventory in UK too. But the MacBook was not available neither they wanted to procure it for me :(
However , Microsoft has their BYOd Policy I.e bring your own device . So you can also use your own personal MacBook. I used my personal MacBook for first couple of months and I was the alien in the office. And the reason I was asking for mac I never had windows neither personally or professionally neither used one.
Same - in a customer role but the surface tablets and notebooks on offer are terrible. I’m going to BYO MacBook as I have never used windows platform and on the whole the windows and teams experience on surface is not productive for me.
Yes, doesn’t hurt to ask.
I heard designers are the only one who get that option. Most people get Lenovo’s. Just ask your HM/OA.
It makes sense for designers! I work on tech stack that makes more sense to be on Linux or Mac so I might just ask my HM
Most msft designers I know use a mac for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Bot sure if they are BYO or not
We do have choice beyond surface- for example I use a lenovo.
Have you ever used WSL? I much prefer it over my Mac for mixed environments.
That is what I would’ve to use if they don’t provide me a Mac 🤞
