This is a longshot and maybe a stupid question but will interns get dinners paid for during a virtual internship? I've heard full-time WFH bankers can if they want it... not sure if it extends to interns at this time too.

are you sure full time bankers can expense while WFH? sounds rare and unusual. my bank doesnt let us do it
A friend of mine at a BB gets his expensed while WFH
This is a lie - it's not happening
I'm getting my meals expensed at the moment, no issue.
Not all full time bankers. Some BBs still don't allow expensed seamless/others when WFH, which you'd think would have been implemented across the board by now
In a normal circumstance where interns actually go to office (SA 2021), do interns also get to expense their meals after a certain time?
following
Yes
For my internship, interns would typically get a $30 meal stipend in the office, but for the virtual internship we don’t get anything.
What type of bank are you at?
Nope at BBs. Some of the boutiques might still pay though.
jpm pays
Classic Dimon profligancy
you guys are saving a grand or more on rent per month at the very least.
stop being little crybabies for a $30 meal

$30 a day? Just order some spicy McChicken sandwiches from McDonald's and quit complaining.
So its netting out even in worst case scenario

I would recommend you asking someone super junior on the team a week or two once you build a relationship. I think it looks bad as your already trying to milk the benefits bud.
Currently not getting meals expensed so wouldn't get your hopes up. But no one is going to judge you/care if you ask them so don't listen to the interns on this forum
Do interns usually get meals expensed if working in the office?
Yes after around 7pm. Theres diff thresholds tho for hm u can get by staying longer.
For a datapoint, EB giving us interns $100 weekly for WFH meals
