My first job (small dev agency) after moving to Amsterdam was all Macs despite peanuts salary.

They regularly offered decommissioned Macs on a big discount, so that brings some return.

Also depends how much profit they were making. If they made bank by underpaying you and overselling you to wealthy Amsterdam customers then they can probably afford Macs for everyone. Also depends on the type of work. Boring enterprise SW dev is usually ass Windows but frontend and mobile tends to be more Macs.

True, that’s exactly what happened.
