BBs usually $35 and EBs can go up to $40/45 (same across all levels regardless of if you're an analyst or VP). Unsure on PE or HF though probably comes with more catered lunch and breakfast
NYC MF - unlimited dinner stipend, catered lunch every day. Can buy lunch (no specified limit) if the catering runs out. Usually I spend about ~$60 on dinner every night, but can be more or less depending on how abused by my boss I feel
CVP has in-house breakfast / lunches and basically no expense policy limits but most people keep around $60 for dinner
Alvarez and Marsal, no ceiling on meals when staffed, since that goes to the client. Consulting in general though.
