What’s the policy for business class travel at other consulting firms for international travel? Partners in coach? Business class? NY to India

PwC and KPMG are business for all staff in that instance

I think at all major firms except WITCH, staff of any level would be business class on NY to India.

At Accenture it’s Manager and above for a flight that far. Odds of anyone lower making that trip is very low.
I worked at Capgemini for a bit. While they aren’t technically a WITCH, it was VP and above that booked business for a trip even of that length. They aren’t technically an absolute trash firm.

GT is business for all flights >3 hours

Same.

ZS Ps business others in Ps’ discretion

Business for all flights >6-8 hours (6 for client work, 8 for internal firm activities)

IBM policy is only economy. But I had always got it approved for that distance (although it’s entirely dependent on your manager, and sorry if your manager is a lifer, most managers who have come from outside will approve it.). I have always traveled Business for that distance since I had a manager who didn’t care. Within US becomes a bit of a stretch to get approval for business travel even if it’s Miami to Seattle . Ridiculous business travel policies at IBM.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area.

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
