KPMG tax peeps- joining the firm and wanting to understand the phone policy for managers. $45 for line plus $20 for equipment? No KPMG negotiated carrier plans/ equipment rates- KPMG just reimburses a total of $65 max. Is this correct?

There is corporate discounts for all the big carriers. The rest of what you mentioned is accurate. Also perhaps it flew under the radar but my monthly bill is around $60 (no device payment) and I have been able to expense the entire amount without any issues the last 3 years or so.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
