I am specifically asking about NYC SA positions.
Dependent on bank, but mostly 25 after 7pm on weekdays. Weekends is whenever. Cabs after 9pm
For my BB, it's $25 if you're working until 8pm. Everyone uses seamless web, so you don't need to worry about providing receipts.
After 9pm, your entitled to a taxi cab for a reasonable amount. Don't abuse the policy with inconsistent amounts and/or unusually high cab fares during your summer. Also, wouldn't exactly have all my receipts showing 9:01 as the time you have on your receipts. You don't want any unwarranted attention on these things, as the clients are billed according to the project you work on..
Usually £20 (USD equivalent) for dinner if you're there until around 9pm, taxi for 10pm. We always ordered dinner at around 6:30 or 7 though. Weekends was 1 meal every 4-5 hours but no taxis.
anybody know if dinner/cabs apply for MM's as well? if so - roughly the same deal? I assume its not purely BB's...
If you want to avoid this problem and still dip out at 9:01 on the reg (when possible, of course), just wait til the last week after offer decisions have already been made to turn in all your receipts to a secretary.
During the week: $25 dinner allowance after 7 PM, cab fare after 9 PM.
Weekends: $10 breakfast, $15 lunch, $25 dinner, two free cabs.
