Choosing mac or windows for work? (Amazon)

Apr 17 19 Comments

Starting my first SWE position next week and was given the choice of a windows or Mac computer. I’ve never used a Mac before, but it seems like most people in the industry/at Amazon prefer macs, so I assume my team will too. Would not choosing a MacBook be a bad look? And could it make it harder to do certain things/get help from teammates on certain projects?

Edit: my main fear w mac is that it will add to an already steep learning curve, as I am switching industries for this job. Am I over-worrying about the difficulties of getting used to programming in MacOS?
