I’m a prospective UBS employee. I was told by the recruiter that bank doesn’t provide physical machines to employees and that we need to use our personal computer for office work.

1. Is the above stated info correct?
2. Does the bank reimburse laptop cost, if I don’t have a personal laptop/computer?
3. Is macOS compatible?

Hey, not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But yes this is true and sad at the same time. I will be working for UBS Poland and they have this weird rule.

1. You can buy your own hardware for $1000 and they would reimburse the money without any clearance needed from higher ups.
2. If it exceeds $1000 then you will need permission to get clearance to buy it.
3. The amount will be reimbursed to your account over 40 months.

Here comes the weird part.
-$1000 over 40 months they'd deposit $25 dollars a month for 40 months. So you're compelled to stay to get ur money back.

If you take a leave, the proportionate amount would be taken from your salary, 1 day off * hourly rate divided by some weird a** factor = $3.46 ( assuming ).

So $25 - $3.46 = $blah is what you're gonna get back at the end of the month as compensation.

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

I’ve got a partnership w/ two of my uncles. We have two houses on rent. we use the profit from the homes as a single pot where we pay for the maintenance expenses (different cash flow from each). We are close family and they trust my judgement. Another of my uncles wants to join for the next home we buy. How do we split/ allow their buy in to our partnership for the next home? I don’t wanna add extra accounting of maintaining expense/cash flow from the next one we buy as a larger group Thoughts?

If I schedule an interview, can anyone help me with resources which can help me prepare in 15 days or so.

The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
