I’m a developer in technology division and they set me up with this business Dell and it’s a joke. 8gb ram. CPU handles nothing. Did all this application and approval seeking for a Mac, and they say it’ll be here in 6-8 weeks.
It also depends on the project and your role. With MD approval and a WBS you can get an upgraded laptop which can be a Mac.
One person in my new joiner orientation class got a Mac - he said he negotiated for it when he was going through the interview process
It’s quite simple: if your DTE / group supports you having a Mac and is willing to both pay for the hardware and the upcharge for Mac software, you can get a Mac. It’s more tricky when it’s a project, because there has to be a business case that you’ll be on the project long enough to recover the outlay and guarantee somebody will pay for the upcharges for the life of the Mac. That has proven to be a bit more complex, but can absolutely be accomplished with some crafty number crunching. In the end it boils down to you having to make a case to leadership why a Mac will be a better tool and why the firm or project should invest in it. I will say that this is usually easier earlier in the fiscal year and harder later in fiscal year, but that’s not a strict rule
