New to the corporate world. Entry level consultant at big4 and firm sent me a corporate card. What am I supposed to use it for? Do I link my bank account to the card?

Do you mind sharing which firm for a little context? The rules of engagement are different depending on where you are

Ask the firm, not people here. Likely you will pay the card bill and fill out reimbursement forms for EFT into your account. Please just ask them, not us.

Corporate cards are only meant for executives to expense for clients, so it must be a mistake. However, I wouldn't notify HR and turn it in right away. While you have the chance, use it for whatever you like. Daily lunch and expensive steak dinners, nights out at the strip club, embarrassing Amazon purchases... All on the company's dime! Nothing better for sure. Count yourself lucky as you get a second signing bonus here.

This is 100% not true. Don’t go recommending things you aren’t sure of. Precisely the reason I suggested the OP ask for clarification.

PhD candidate 1, that was clear sarcasm if you couldn't tell. Thought it was pretty obvious
