This bowl usually has people from Accenture complaining about how they are surviving on $30 per diems in NYC because Accenture uses the travel budget as margin.

My yardstick for “worst” is when your firm accommodates you below the GSA rate. If a government employee is traveling better than you, then you objectively aren’t doing too well.

@C1 the commercial side of GH has a better expense policy, usually project dependent. I am legacy Navigant and used to be able to use personal cards but now moving to corporate which is a bummer.

At least Accenture allows hotel, food, etc to be on a personal card which would be a silver lining to per diem. My firm enforces the corporate card so can’t get as many points. And apparent BCG is moving to corporate card too.

Hi! Pretty new to this concept, and really early within my career (only 3 months in). Currently on my company’s 401k plan, contributing well beyond the minimum to receive a match, and maxing the amount I can put in right now (25%). Dabbled a bit in options and stocks in general. Any advice, guides, or starting places you would give someone in my shoes? Thank you in advance!
