Yep cheers!

Can anyone clarify if PWC per diems is based on actual expenditure (use it or lose it) or is it just an allowance per day?

Use it or lose it

As far as I am aware, you can file expense receipts up to your per diem allowance, only when you are making these expenses in KSA. Basically make purchases as mandated by expense policy and file the receipts, which post approval by project leads shall be reimbursed to your bank account.

You have to clarify the specifics of the process from the Dubai HR team.

Thanks

D. You get $100 a day in your bank account after your trip. Transportation is covered by corporate Careem. No need to submit any receipts (just submit an expense report with the per diems).

You really only get $100/day for food? Seems kinda low.

I’m in US, we get a set amount per meal depending on level. But it’s over $100. Also feel like it’s cheaper to eat out in US

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
