Meal Stipend in banking

Got an offer to join front office (DCM) as a lateral from middle office. First time receiving an offer, but I wasn't able to see any mention of meal stipends that are discussed in this forum (ex. $25 dinner) or mention of any target bonus I'll be getting.

Would these information be later discussed by HR or my manager?

I don’t know why I was downvoted lol. I hope it wasn’t OP. I literally have first hand experience in IG DCM and they barley work over 8 pm so they never get the chance to use the stipend. Don’t take it as an insult.

 

Agreed, people on this site talk down to DCM/ECM, for reasons I don’t know.

I took the typical M&A route out of college, typical money hungry kid. Soon realized why not have a WAY better work/life balance and still make a very good living.
