Travel as an Analyst?

Hi Everyone, I am interested in IB at an EB/BB as analyst in M&A or Tech located on Wall Street/NYC

Do IB analysts ever get to travel on company business or is it on your own for vacation?

If so, how much per year and is it on Business/First Class?

If you end up on a technology team at an EB you'll only travel by SpaceX rocket. Middle market can suck it up in AirEmirates.

My BB allows biz travel for a certain # of miles, which is about a transcon. MD and above have a lower threshold which is ~2.5 hours and above.

I dont believe this changes by office location or division. So IB is the same as Compliance, but im sure the latter rarely uses it anyway.

Hotels are approved on a case by case basis so i dont know what the threshold is there, but most people stay in nicer places unless youre trying to stay in a suite at the Mandarin youre probably fine.
