Bain & Company Hello all, incoming AC at Bain & Company. Was wondering what travel typically looks like (I know people are locally staffed). Is there regional travel or will most clients usually be in your city anyway?

Also, can you expense lunch/dinner while working in home office? Any other fun perks?

Don’t have Bain email yet and it feels vain to ask Qs like this so early, which is why I’m asking here.

Travel varies depending on project. Can be as much as Monday - Thursday every week on some cases, while in PEG there is no travel. Most clients will be in your region (<3 hr flight).

You can expense dinner if you work 11 hours in a day, which is most days

It was $40 all in. I want to say it was changed so you had to be in the office to get dinner expensed.

No to lunch. Many teams do a team lunch, but frequency depends on the team. In PEG we did a weekly lunch.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??
