I'm joining Dropbox soon, and I'm wondering how the tech budget works (laptops, monitors, peripherals, etc).
I was thinking of buying a big monitor (G9) and wondering if I should wait.

You should be able to request a fairly large curved monitor if you’re in ENG in addition to docking stations/adaptors etc. Things take a while to ship rn due to supply chain slowdowns but I believe that wires/adaptors should be easily obtainable from the Studios vending machines

Gotcha.
I think they gave me only a few options on the form. Up to a 34” monitor, maxed out M1 Max.
Still pretty dope!
Should I send a request to IT? Do you think I should wait a bit (wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers if this is a non standard thing to ask for)?
Really cool re: the vending machines.

I think it should be fine, people are very very chill and I doubt it would ruffle any feathers. The only problem is that IT might not actually be allowed to create or work on that ticket for you until your first day. I did something similar and my recruiter mentioned how I would have to wait until day 1 to file requests.
Also, welcome! :)
