People at big 4/“tier 2” firms (OW, LEK, ATK, etc), what is your firm’s daily per diem for food when traveling? And does it depend on the destination city, or is it just one set amount?

Can you expense lunch?

Per diem is set by the IRS, not individual firms. If any firm allows per diem, the limit for the city will be what is set by the IRS.

$15 breakfast, ‘well you’d be paying for lunch anyway if you were at home so nothing’, $40-50 dinner

Lately they’ve threatened to start checking timestamps to make sure nobody’s charging lunch as breakfast. It’s ridiculous. 🙄
