Based on the most helpful WSO content, meal reimbursement policies vary significantly across firms and regions. Some firms, particularly in the U.S., offer generous meal stipends for late-night work. For example:
However, some firms, including Goldman Sachs, Citi, Barclays, and Credit Suisse, reportedly do not provide meal stipends while working from home.
If your fund/team does not currently offer a dinner reimbursement policy, it might be worth raising the issue with HR or your manager, especially if late hours are a consistent expectation. Highlighting how other firms provide such allowances could strengthen your case.
