We provide a budget of USD 3,200 (excl. tax) to fund infrastructure for new team members. As always, please be reasonable and spend the budget on things that you need. It's ok If you want to delay the orders till later in case you have gear already. We are flexible, and the budget stays. You can always order additional gear later if you do not need it right now.

<aside> 🌐 Please buy the infrastructure within budget with your **Spendesk virtual cards** (request a single use card, how-to for new joiners, general how-to). Approvals will be through Morgan via Spendesk when you request the amount for your tech. Reimbursement is a possibility if Spendesk does not work for you.

Most of our employees use the following standard gear:

1. MacBook Pro We insist on Macs as they come with malware protection, which we need to be SOC2 compliant.
   1. 16GB RAM
   2. 512 GB SSD
2. Monitor of your choice. Let @Morgan know what you are thinking and she can guide you.
3. Keyboard & mouse of your choice (if needed)

<aside> 📣 Disclaimer: a laptop bought with this budget is a company laptop. This means that:

• We need to install the company's mobile device management solution (MDM) on it. (We allow personal use of your company device. You just have to be ok with us installing MDM on it.)
• Upon offboarding, the laptop needs to be wiped, and you can either buy it (at current market value, which we check on eBay) or return it to the company.
