What laptop does IBM give their employees? They're onboarding me but haven't asked for my preference. I'm assuming it's a ThinkPad lol

Yeah it’s Lenovo Thinkpad. Even though they don’t own them, they’re still a partner. There’s usually like 3 tiers of Lenovo laptops, and I believe you/your manager can also put in a request for a Mac if there’s a need.

Would just send them a note and say you’re more comfortable with a Mac and see if there’s any way possible you/they can request one.

BCG Platinion software engineer folks: I just received an offer for a software engineer role in BCG Platinion Chicago with TC 145k-155k (details finalizing) with 2.5 YoE in a fintech company. My main concern is, the base is 120-130k and the expected bonus seems to be ~17% (25k bonus /145k TC), which seems a bit higher than usual. Is this normal or is it a red flag?

Just backed out of a signed offer and I feel like shit. The new company was very delayed in issuing an offer letter (3 weeks from verbal) and approaching a month from background check. I missed kick off events and offered to visit happy hours, but they denied that request until after the start date (which had to be pushed back).

I feel I’m justified in reneging but the group lead did everything they could to recruit and move things along, so I feel bad. Here to vent.
