You can eat pretty well for $52 a day actually in NYC. Try out some ethnic cuisines and not necessarily the overpriced midtown diners

Daily allowance and the amount depends on the city. More expensive cities (Seattle, NYC etc) cap out at $52 a day. Lowest I’ve seen is $42 a day

Are per diems taxed as income?

It’s higher in federal, about $60 per day in Columbus, Ohio. I’d imagine it’s higher in NYC. It’s a daily allowance, so whatever you don’t use is yours, and you don’t need to post receipts. Not sure if that’s true of the commercial practice though.

Hope you’re not a drinker lol - I would be broke

To be honest, I eat pretty conservatively priced meals and end up pocketing $80-100 worth of per diem a week.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

I have got an offer for Manager level at a Big 4 in Consulting. People who are 3-4 years juniors at my MBA college are at Manager level and might get promoted sooner than me. Also, a couple of immediate juniors are at Senior Manager level.

Have you been in a similar situation? Is it awkard? How to handle it after joining?

PS: If you are wondering, I do not have a Big 4 or consulting experience while they have it.
