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.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries.

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?
