Taking a step back here. The iPhone model and a few hundred bucks for wfh equipment should not be the decisive factor even costing between which MBB to join.

It’s a proxy for how much the firms care about the employees and make life easier outside the office. Reducing hassle and annoying choices in the everyday is good service

I got an iPhone 13. No WFH set up allowance, unless I missed something. But we can order anything we need if it is available through our internal channel (keyboard, laptop stand, etc)

Tbh I don’t remember the exact models; but keyboard&mouse all Logitech ( 7-8 models to choose from) , airpods pro and 3rd gen, mainly Dell screens ( inc curved one we use in the office) hope that helps

We get iPhone se for free. Anything better you pay extra for (though very reasonable about £200 under market)
£400 to purchase wfh equipment

That’s cheap…

iPhone 12 Pro. We were able to order equipment from a 3rd party supplier charged to BCG during lockdown, but I don't know what the situation is for new joiners.

Aren't you already at BCG? 👀
