PwC is changing its expense policies to $75 to $100 per day on food max depending on the city. Just thought everyone should know there is another reason to avoid this place like the plague.

OP, I’m just gonna say it: you sound like a complete and total idiot.

That is a ton of money for normal daily food intake. If you disagree then you really need to adjust your expectations for what the world owes you

I generally spend less than $40 a day on food. You guys are eating good over at PWC.

OP please leave PwC and NEVER come back you self-righteous cuck! People are starving worldwide and you complain about 100 dollars worth of free food PER DAY! I hope somebody roundhouse kicks you in the chin, Preferably Chuck Norris

This really isn’t a problem for me. But explaining extravagantly high meal expenses to clients has been, who tend to hate that behavior by consultants and has resulted in me being forced to roll folks off clients.

Where are you going that $100 per day in food isn’t enough ?

In San Francisco it costs more than $100 to eat a meal similar to what my wife or I would make at home, if you include a beer or a drink as well.

Lol @ OP

I see this as having the opposite impact. In the past could more easily establish project limits, now everyone is going to hit 75 or 100 a day.

I’m in SF and I spend less than $50 a day on average for all my meals (and we don’t even have a limit). You don’t need to be eating steak and sushi every night

Or rather, to eat breakfast lunch and dinner. Not just one meal.

So we are expensing per diem not bfast and dinner anymore

@P2 it’s a limit, not a per diem. You’d need receipts for anything over $25 not on your corporate card.

It’s possible to set up per diems but that will be project-specific as it always has been.

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.
