If you've started your new non-consulting job during covid and have been WFH, what's your new role/type of company, and how does your laptop situation work?

Is the norm that they ship you a company laptop while working there as well, or are you expected to use your own home laptop?

(Once I return my Accenture laptop and start my new job, I'll only have my old macbook which does not support functions I'll perform in the new role)

What type of job doesn’t give you a laptop? Did you exit into a trade?

Most companies issue a company laptop. That isn't some sort of consulting thing. Maybe 10 years ago companies were still doing desktops so people who were required to be in the office might not have laptops, but it's 2020...

My first job was non-consulting and they gave me a work laptop. I would assume that to be the case unless they said otherwise.

Good to know! I wanted to ask them but didn't want to come off as entitled/spoiled in case it wasn't the norm 😆

I started an industry job (marketing & analytics) this week. They sent me laptop, monitors, keyboard/mouse all the week before I started.

Started a new job two weeks ago. They gave me option to have laptop and equipment shipped to me or to meet my manager at the office for a few hours to pick up the stuff and get tour of the office. I opted to meet my manger and got to see the office. Was only there for a half day then we both went home for lunch, and been working from home since.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
