This is a long shot, but does anyone work at Goldman Sachs and can confirm if they give you a personal work laptop? I’ve heard they don’t give you one to WFH which is…odd. I wouldn’t want to have to use my personal laptop.

Yeah I just got confirmation that’s the case too. Honestly pretty bogus, I don’t wanna have to be using my personal laptop for work. Super annoying, especially for those who might not have a personal laptop capable of doing the work they need to do

So the worlds leading financial companies have you working on your OWN device? Even with VPN etc. this is asking for risks to network hacking and outdated software risks by not being properly managed. Wow. Wonder how many ransomware are hit too.

Opens up liability issues too with licenses for softwares on personal devices.

My friend joined GS in July and told me she had to buy her own laptop, no reimbursement from the firm. From what she shared, you may want to have a separate work laptop meaning don’t use your personal one unless you have to.

Yeah I just got confirmation that’s the case too - pretty bogus considering they’re like a billion dollar company, lol. I didn’t even consider them not giving us laptops as an option when I was interviewing (not that it’s a make or break decision, just annoying)

Morgan Stanley is the same way. Ridiculous.
