🏙 Road warriors! What are you usually allowed to spend per night, before taxes/fees, on hotel rooms? Let’s assume a large city like NYC DC ATL SF etc. Interested to hear from MBB to see if >> Big 4

Max allowed is $500/night after taxes

300-400 in NYC, but it’s all project specific, not set by the firm as a whole

EY - anywhere from $120-$240/night in my experience

If NY or SF $400 a night is ok. DC isn't as expensive.

$300-400 in NYC/SF before taxes. As long as expense budget isn’t exceeded and someone isn’t staying at St Regis (or generally spending more than others), no one cares.

It depends

What you talking about OP? We can definitely do more than that range in big cities - I’ve spent around 400/night in NYC

We’re supposed to keep it under $200/night (except in places like NYC), although no one has complained when I have spent more.

We don’t have a max. Within reason... for nyc probably between $500-600/night.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??

My team just sold a next phase of work to the client (small team, so I’m main person to deliver the work), but I just got a written offer for a dream job. I’m definitely going to accept the offer, but feeling guilty since this phase was just sold (the client knows me and has said positive things about my work). I guess just looking for reassurance, since I’m dreading letting them know.
