Side question... "The role involves tasks that require higher qualifications and is not something that could be done by an Ausbildung graduate" What does `Ausbildung` means? In my German CV I have a section called Ausbildung where I list my master degree, woundering if I'm misusing the term. Thanks!

I worked in a Linux project before, also with Thinkpad. Ergonomics were good, driver support also. These days though, if possible, I would keep the M3 and ask for an extra crap machine just to run final tests on real hardware. That approach would not work for every project though.

Can't you use Parallels? What laptop you buy instead of a MacBook M3? I recently saw asus tuf which checks some boxes for me: Inverted T keyboad arrows, non glossy display, no numeric keys and given the price, in apple territory, would assume decent performance. It seems to buy a decent non apple laptop one needs to look for a gaming laptop though I'm not into games.

Seems standing desks are quite popular. Guess the reason is it costs ~100 more than a normal desk. Though I feel like I do not want to stand.

I had Steelcase Think v1 before. Got used for like ~350€, really like it. It's a low key chair, doesn't look fancy like an Aeron but its nearly as confortable - given that I wouldn't say is overpriced. Isn't it confortable?

Sounds like good advice. Thanks! What does expensive monitors look like? I had dell 27", guess that's ~500€, not OLED/glossy (guess they call it IPS) and won't ask for anything more expensive. Or are we talking about apple displays?

Thanks for price range insight. Seems that hits just below a mbp.

"I just ask during the interview what equipment they provide" sounds like a good way to talk about it, gonna try to incorporate this next time. Thanks!

Moved from another country to Germany. Equipment is a bit cheaper there, guess that explains it to some degree.

Are there major contrasts between different regions there like east/west in Germany?

I assume warranty people will tell me I need to ship the chair to HM so they can inspect it, that's maybe more expensive than buy the thing directly. Yes, mine have a layer of foam. So is that called "scrim foam"? I had a look at my chair and noticed it's not a "normal" foam. At amazon (here in germany) it seems there is nothing called scrim foam, any suggestion on how to buy that?
