I'm a professional, I buy my own tools whenever possible. Gigabit ethernet, big monitor, nice keyboard, desk, chair, rocket fast machine. I've been remote for 13y. It would be nice to get reimbursed, sure, but also I don't want to deal with the administrivia.



Sure. I'm similar, too, been fully remote since 2007. Within reason. When a healthcare startup wanted to me to work on PHI on my BYOD? No. Not a chance.


I worked at a remote-first place that made you use your own damn computer! No reimbursement.


No corp-it spyware at least! And the sky is the limit for how nice of machine you can build/buy.
