With the latest budget cuts, it is now only $50/day, enough for two Chipotle burritos

Ours is $150... just a quick fyi in case you're trying to choose between the two firms and this is the deciding factor.

What kind of food do you eat that $90/day isn’t enough?

I'm kind of in the same boat as everyone else here. I think $90 a day is plenty. I have traveled to big cities and had less than that to use for per diem. It probably depends on WHAT and WHERE you are eating.

Go Blue! And obligated to tell you that tech is better with our free breakfast, lunch, and dinner

M1 I thought it got trimmed to $40/day

Yes it’s plenty. With my experience, most days you’re not always paying for every meal. For example, any time partner or AP is in town, they pick up the tab and it never really comes back to you. And if they aren’t there, you are usually ordering for the team in Uber eats, meaning the extra costs are split among more people and the hit towards your per diem is not that bad. I’ve never had an issue with the amount unless I tried to do a nice steak/sit down dinner. But usually don’t ever have time to do that alone

It should be enough. You'll probably have money left over. $15 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, $30 for dinner. These are on the high end of my budget too.

And no, it was raised. Everyone is just giving you a hard time or didn’t read the email

You guys get per diems?

Don’t think BCG has any per diem costs fixed. You can spend how much ever you want

Ours is 125 but not per diem its per meal allowance. Breakfast = 15. Lunch = 25, dinner = 75.
