I'm about to take my first contract and I wondered if most clients had an expectation I'd use my own laptops / internet access etc?
I've used contractors before in permie land and I always provided everything they needed, but they were Level 2 support people and I'm going to work more in project management, which may not need access to their networks as much.
If I get offered the option to use my own equipment versus the clients what are the main things you guys think of? I am thinking security, leaving work in the office etc. If I did want to work at home though, having my own laptop would also be useful in those situations. There's a lot of conflicting thoughts in my head
One person also talked about using my personal mobile phone to make and receive calls whilst on the contract. I wondered if this was the norm or not?
TIA for any comments
