So what's the deal with being able to charge dinner after 10hrs? Is that charged to the client or can I just use my Amex and expense it?

Do look up overtime meals in the expense policy on KCurve/Spark rather than rely on posts here as there are specific eligibility and documentation requirements rooted in how the IRS handles them. In my experience, these are some of the more frequently rejected expenses due to improper documentation or eligibility. Do take advantage of them if you qualify, but just recognize that they are scrutinized more than some others.

Please. Read. The. Policy. "Hours over standard meals" apply when not traveling, have a maximum of $15 for weekday dinners, can only occur on days when more than 10 hours are charged, and must be consumed at the client location or the PwC office. There are different policies for weekends. As an engagement director, I have seen junior staffs' meals rejected for noncompliance with this many times. There is quite a bit of confusion amongst people on this, and already misinformation in this thread. Read the policy yourself so you don't get caught up in it.

Think about your profit per hr you net pwc. Lets assume they get 100$ profit off you per hr you work.... you just got em an extra 200$ and dinner costs what....50$? Yes use amex and expense it.

It's fine after 10 hours. You expense to the client code

Yes, but make sure you can pass through. May not be able to on a local project. Also requires you to eat on site and work after meal. And IIRC it's only $15..

Yes @P2, sorry I have a different background where the 10 HR policy was known inside and out with regards to those extra details. So read the policy.

It's 15 bucks not 50. Which is enough for chipotle

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company
