What are the expense policies typically like / how strict are they at PE funds? Eg. is it typical for junior folks to travel business class, expensing meals during WFH, etc.

At my firm, travel policy is same as McK. For junior levels, it’s economy until it passes a certain duration than it’s business. For meals, my fund is providing a daily stipend to us, which is more so than what McK has.

That said, consulting usually treats these “perks” as charging back to the clients so it’s a little different.

There isn’t that much difference between PE and MBB in that sense. Go where you learn more and can grow instead of the place that can provide you a daily meal.

Think 30 daily? Not much, but definitely enough for grocery and 1-2 meals a week eating out.

It’s pretty good but I’d say a little worse than my experience at McKinsey. In general slightly worse perks are made up for in pay
