Yes, it’s called business development funds. It’s in our P&L. We’ve done sports games, booze cruises (fishing), dinners, golfing…pretty much anything except strip clubs and prostitution. Those are actually called out no nos.

Also, no on the allowance. We have Amex that needs to be reconciled and expensed. Anything not approved we have to pay out of pocket.

Of course

Depends on the client’s policy, but I’ve yet to be on a project where there wasn’t some sort of happy hour or dinner together. Usually for the more restrictive clients it’s a jointly hosted event.

We do issue everyone credit cards as well. And if you’re traveling we reimburse travel expenses and pay a daily $ amount for meals whether you spend it or not.

I like it because it’s flexible. No receipts. No rules. You’re not obligated to pinch pennies. Just like the next analyst over isn’t obligated to go out for steak.

Yes. That’s pretty common

Is it not a common thing? I mean our company provides credit cards for client dinners and other company funded events and expenses.

I am a. Net developer and coming to Poland on dependent visa. I have 10 year experience. Can I get job there?

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.
