Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

Not trying to justify EY's train wreck of an expense policy. But why are you as a staff 2 picking up he tab on engagement meals with client. I'm surprised that the senior manager or managers aren't the ones doing that. In situations like that it, it should be the most senior on the team expensing those type of expenses
So I tried to do a 10 out of pocket and got a RR prompt. I think we're starting to cheap out yet again
I would literally switch firms just so I don't have to deal with this BS anymore. For example: I submitted an expense for a dinner that was attended by EY and client personnel. I included the name of the client, first and last names of all in attendance, name of the PPEDD who approved, and the business purpose for the meal. GT&E denied my request because I didn't include the positions/titles of the client personnel. Are you shitting me? If this was a one off thing I would brush it off, as I have for the past year and a half. But having to submit a report to an expense auditor several times a week for stupid shit like that has pushed me to the edge. I'm ready to jump.
Yeah EY is retarded when it comes to expenses . So frustrating
And don't even get me started on engagement staffing and these bullshit variance reports. So you're telling me if I'm 8+ hours short of my chargeable hours quota on any given week, for any reason - including illness, I get a variance report? And 4 variances in a year will affect rating? So I get 10 personal care days - but not really, because using just 4 can impact my review. Who makes these decisions? Can we fire that person so we can focus on our work again?
Man, what is it that causes everyone to jump down each other's throats... Take a chill pill, jeez.
Does it matter what rank he is? No, as long as it is approved by a pped it doesn't matter.
OP abusing policy? IT WAS APPROVED BY A PPED
OP too big for his britches? He's venting, and it's about something that is a legitimate issues. Maybe you should get over yourself.
OP doing it in direct contradiction to policy that he knows? I read the policy from beginning to end when I first started. Went back to look something up recently, it was completely different. No emails are sent when policy changes, but we are still expected to follow it...
All expenses incurred at the partner level. Holy fucking shit no. How's that work when I need dinner while traveling to a client alone.
I know I just shit on everyone for making assumptions, but I have to assume that all you assholes have never spent a significant amount of time traveling. Gt&e is literally the worst thing about traveling.
Suddenly our ancient system seems good given the lower bar in details
OP you wrote way too much. The key is to be as vague as possible. The less they know, the better the outcomes.
@OP nice try calling for someone to be fired. You're a staff 2. Get over yourself.
Does every other firm dictate which specific card you have to use too? Like "Hey, welcome to EY. We opened an AMEX in your name and you have to pay it every month, and you have to use it for every expense otherwise we reserve the right to decline reimbursement." Doesn't that seem a little bit fucky to anyone else? Not to mention the allowances are shrinking and/or disappearing. At this rate, pretty soon nothing will be reimbursable and then I guess there won't be an expense process to complain about in the first place.
PwC requires you to use the Amex, but you just have to mention the names of the people who attended with you when you expense it in T&E. At least that's what I have done and had no problem
@EY 2 - abusing policy? Okay, troll. To clarify, we ordered food to be delivered to the client using GrubHub. I was asked to place the order and so I used my AMEX. I've never been prompted for client titles before this particular submission - just client names, EY names, PPEDD name, and business purpose. It's like they constantly want more information.
Lol at EY people getting on OP. meanwhile, others are saying no hassle for us. Stockholm syndrome...
All expenses should be incurred at the partner level. This would eliminate any need to audit anyone as partners are only taking from themselves.
@EY 4 - I couldn't disagree more. The only reason I included so much to begin with is because GT&E is always asking for more and more. First it's just client names and who approved. Then it's business purpose too. Now they want titles. What's next - blood types?
MA, corporate cards really don't make the life harder. If you had a training for 2 weeks, keeping all the receipts for every damn thing you purchased will be a pain in the ass. I would just rather swipe the corporate card every time and not worry about saving those receipts and then scan them one by one at the end
PwC: $15 max on meals unless you put the interns name then it's $30
Y'all get corporate cards? 😂😂😂 while that sounds great in theory, it apparently makes life much harder. I use my own card, and beyond needing the detailed receipt instead of just the charge, I've had zero problems - list the people involved, code it to whatever (networking/marketing/staff development), and it passes right thru. Sure, it's on my card. But that just takes managing your other expenses to keep up with.
EY2 read OP's other comments. He is ordering dinner for the team and the client. This is very common during busy season
Calm down woah man
