Is Accenture the only large consulting firm that doesn’t pay for employees cell phones? Even my crappy company pays for our phones and plans....

I pay for the device and accenture pays for the plan. You can set the % of the bill that Accenture covers

Lmao, what is this a charity? They give you a phone that works and is brand new. I'm sorry they couldn't provide you with the newest iphone X for your liking

Might be dependent on geography. In France we get a mid-range smartphone with a plan that’s also mid-range. I use my personal phone and SIM card, the Accenture phone is in a drawer somewhere. SM+ get an older iPhone.

Booz Allen only does 30% reimbursement if you're under SA if you're not in management consulting.

We get full phone and data reimbursement in management consulting.

Then you get a full phone + unlimited plan at SA+

Accenture does pay for cell phones. Mgrs and up get a huge portion of it covered and everyone below that level just needs approval to get one

A6 so what’s the likelihood that it’ll get approved and who do you talk to?

Fake News. It varies by level and by geography, but generally we get a good portion of our plan covered and some low-mid range phones for free, with high end phones being on your own dime.

Well that’s why...below Manager I hear is a different story

At PwC UK when I joined I was given iPhone 8+ and I use only more work phone and I’ve never exceeded my data limit (not clear what it is but I get a monthly email showing me my usage and there’s never additional charges), though I think I normally stay under 10gb.

Valid concern or am I overthinking it?

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?
