When I joined, my company told me they will send money to my bank account twice a month and tell me I can spend however I see fit to do my work. They have been doing that without missing a single time for 10 years now.

We are at a hiring freeze but some part of our practice is still hiring.

$25/month to expense internet or office supplies. Keep in mind this is advertising, where employees and agencies are poor.

$75/month, but we already had a wellness stipend and now you can use wfh expenses as part of that

Any other consulting data points?

No, we aren’t allowed to expense that due to expense cutbacks

Bain gave $250!

EY gave up to $175 for a monitor, contingent on the fact that it doesn’t exceed 21”

Nothing... so far. I’m also mid to almost senior level... not sure if it is different at the actual senior level.

Sony gave all employees $1k

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.
