Have any other firms also stopped top-tier perks for consultants after resuming travel?

Like S& doesn’t allow Business Class flights (below Principal) and Ritz Carlton stay in Riyadh due to cost constraints.

I don’t have much context, but I don’t think PwC even flies for the working week. One of my friends travelled, and they go for 1-2 days max.

Business class flights for below P? What?

My bad.

That was the policy at Strategy& before Covid too

Ritz was allowed before COVID. Now only Partners stay at Ritz (and maybe Principals)

This is news to me. Haven’t heard of this yet

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management.

But recruiters just see my most recent role is EA and that’s all they want to talk to me about. I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.
