How much does your company pay for meals while traveling or if you’re lucky to have it during the day? My company only gives $25 for a meal unless you get further approvals and it seems way too low… Am I wrong or are my expectations just way too high based on what I have heard from other people?

It was like 75 a meal for us. If the partner wanted more it was basically endless. Had some very nice dinners

I have known folks who were comped breakfast but not lunch. Lunch was assumed to be a personal required expense everyday....that poor soul worked for a large bank. At my consulting firm if it's under 30 and no alcohol on the bill it is approved. If it's a client dinner the thousands of dollars must pre-approved through BD

Ours is something random like $263 per day, lol. I never understood why it was such an arbitrary number. Very strange.

We get $50 per day, that we’re traveling for the company. So we have to make that $50 last all three meals.

What is your role? Sales? Tech?
