Actually that is kind of scary, most companies supply you with a work device so it can be securely administered. That's kind of a red flag that they accept you working from whatever you have.
Get the laptop if you can, you can probably claim it for a reduction of taxes (keep the receipts). Keep it separate, always. You'll appreciate being able to close the "work device" when the day is done. Also, very much lock it down--do not let friends/family "borrow" your laptop.
People do the worst crap on computers that aren't their own.
I agree, they are having me work as a "consultant" for a few months if it works out they will relocate me and provide me with the equipment. Until then, I have to set up a few things on whatever machine I will be using for security purposes. It's a pretty reputable company and they are paying way more than my previous job so I am fine with it.
Thanks for all the tips; I'm probably getting a laptop.
Tbh that arrangement sounds kindy sus, but yes good that you are getting the laptop. Keep work and shiny separate!
I understand, if sussy stuff happens, then I can leave whenever with a 1 week notice. I always have multiple options on hand and I am really not short on money at all, thank god.
