My new employer wants me to install Okta and other 2FA apps on my phone. I have an old BlackBerry. How do I approach this with them and what will their response be?

Wouldn't mention Blackberry. Say your device doesn't support those applications and say you'd prefer a separate work phone regardless if they require you to be accessible

Just curious, why shouldn’t they mention the blackberry

Do not install work apps on personal phone, unless you want to scrub your personal phone. If work goes across it, your company may assert the right to monitor - NOT LEGAL ADVICE - check the data privacy laws where you are specifically regarding using personal hardware for work tasks.

Ohh I didn’t know this, I have teams and slack on my phone.

Don't install them and ask for telecom or handset reimbursement for work resources.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
