Bump, following
Getting a job at any of the banks is a perk
So is working for the devil, doesn’t mean I wanna be a slave
The perk would be sending u the email with a 1R invite.
It's free to say nothing. :)
Applies to u too son
Chiming in for RBC:
- Free Blades to the Hamptons between Memorial Day and Labor Day
- Free Uber Blacks to and from the office
- $50 Dinner stipend after 6PM
- $40 Lunch stipend
- Business class for flights under 3 hours, first class if over 3 hours, occasionally hop along on the corporate PJ
- Quarterly $15K "social" budget per coverage & product group, covers dinners, happy hours, offsites, etc
No way this is true. If it it then congrats on the EBB label you deserve it
I work at an EB
$35 dinner in office after 6pm
$25 lunch on weekends only
UberX after 9pm
Economy flights
Can confirm this is true. My roommate from ultra-mega target (think Harvard/Yale/Kelley) who chose RBC over PJT RSSG told me the exact same thing. Want to lateral to RBC from my MOE/LAZ/PWP but I've heard even ex-CVPs are having trouble getting interviews.
Glad to see the elite bulge bracket boutique (EBB) label is catching on
Not on list but HL NY has tons of meals perks, office is nice, chill groups etc
To add some detail: $40 for dinner after 6pm (technically after 10 hours of work but can order after 6pm). M, W, Th $20 for lunch. Ubers after 9pm. Also, there’s some gym pass type thing for like ~$140 a month and gives you access to like 5,000 gyms across the country. Supposedly if you are over 6’4” you automatically get business class on flights but doesn’t matter cuz you have to be under 5’9” to be an MD here.
MD part is spot on but think more 5'7"
Don’t forget a shaved head
Baird:
- $35 Uber Eats Mon-Fri delivered to office after 6pm if you are planning on being in the office past 8pm

$35 dinner stipend after 8pm
$70 weekend food stipend (must be in office)
UberX after 8pm
UberX to and from office on weekends
8pm dinner you gonna get fat
Is lunch not standard for good banks, or are people just not writing about it here?
Not common
Is there often a culture of going out for lunch with team, or group dependent?
Aeris Partners - $25 dinner stipend after 7:30 - 4-5 days a week in person - Normal Uber / Lyft - Occasionally snacks
Must feel pretty awesome to get the occasional snack. Like a toddler in pre-school, work hard enough and you may get the occasional fruit snack or two.
These are basically Shitibank's perks.
BofA:
$35 Grubhub after 6:30pm
Uber Black after 9pm (can be anywhere not just home)
Discounted snacks/food but nothing free
$30 lunch + $35 dinner for weekends
2x WFH days per month but flex if needed
JPM?
Solomon Partners?
WF?
Uber after 7, $30 dinner at 6:30 but have to stay until 8. Friday wfh, my group is pretty flexible with wfh if you have a late night
Anyone have Ardea and Evercore?
Any info on HW?
Gotten stingier on expense policy but it’s the standard stuff. Used to be able to expense anything up to the limit. 4% 401k match. Ubers home, etc
Care to elaborate on food/uber etc. ?
Anyone know what EBs allow Uber Black (Exec in LDN)? Specifically interested in EVR and LAZ
Anything on Moelis?
$35 dinner stipend order starting 6 PM must stay until 8 PM. 9 PM for UberX; 11 PM Uber Black. To and from office Ubers on weekends. Office dependent but snacks / soda provided. If traveling as a junior, generally economy class but laundry / dry cleaning would be covered. All day Fridays & evening WFH but defer to deal team dynamics as needed
Does Barclays offers Uber Blacks?
Anyone have Houlihan or Lincoln?
