Think boss is lying..asked boss in new job about Bloomberg access as I had it in my previous job so she said that she would ask and see if they could transfer someone's license while they're on mat leave over by asking someone. Then I asked a few days later and she sounded reluctant to ask for it and said that I should just use what they have and see if I need anything on top so I asked whether they could transfer it so she said that she would put in an ask.

Several days later (4-5 days) I asked whether she had managed to speak to the team and she didn't say who or whether she spoke to anyone, just some vague "they can't just delete it". This seemed fishy as my old job allowed Bbg transfers... So I got in touch with Business Management and they haven't said anything about it not being allowed (yet!). Usually she's nice but sometimes she gives me looks when I ask for something

Don’t ask for a transferred or shared license. Ask for one exclusively for yourself

I'm not sure why she had to say that she would ask, then change the tone and say that I should deal with using Eikon and ask for Bbg and only when I asked about the transfer again, she said that she'll ask. I don't actually think that she asked Business Management. When BM replied to me they CCed another BM person to ask if they can transfer it to me... what should I do if BM actually says yes? Tell my manager? Lol

I’ve been here before. My past role I had to share a terminal which was bogus, and when first asked about the terminal, they said they use it. Then I join new role and they used mostly factset, had to argue to get a terminal (open) just to share. Now in new role have a Bloomberg anywhere and don’t think I’ll ever take a role that doesn’t have it/ require it. Rule of thumb is I look up the whole team on Bloomberg to see if they have one, if they don’t, something is fishy and they most likely share/ don’t use it much
