We provide a budget of USD 3,200 (excl. tax) to fund infrastructure for new team members. As always, please be reasonable and spend the budget on things that you need. It's ok If you want to delay the orders till later in case you have gear already. We are flexible, and the budget stays. You can always order additional gear later if you do not need it right now.

<aside> 🌐 Please buy the infrastructure within budget with your **Spendesk virtual cards** (request a single use card, how-to for new joiners, general how-to). Approvals will be through Morgan via Spendesk when you request the amount for your tech. Reimbursement is a possibility if Spendesk does not work for you.
