        Mostly use my own laptop and software. I'm licensed up and usually my laptop is better than anything the client could provide.

        I work mainly from home and have invested in a decent setup so I would think twice working for a client that forced me to use their equipment without good reason.

        The only downside is my laptop ends up with various bits of software that clients need. Anything I'm not 100 sure is safe I usually install in a VM, don't have to do this often.

            This is true, and many private sector organisations were already there years ago.

            For example, within the last 5 years, I haven't been with a single client that didn't have all of their relevant infrastructure / code / stuff-i-need-to-work-on in one of the major cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP etc.).

            It's no surprise that it's the public sector, and specifically governmental depts, that are towards the right hand side on the "Diffusion of Innovations" adoption curve.

              Does anyone take their own equipment when visiting NLyUK?

                Corrected
                I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                  Depends on whether you want to get more than you paid for

                    Is it worth pointing out that hooking your kit to a remote access portal and proxied access like Citrix is not using your own kit on site, even if you're sat at one of their desks.

                    The original point was about plugging your kit onto a client network. Outside the LAN firewall, whose box it is doesnt matter a damn and is certainly not any kind of differentiator.
