When will my bank increase my meal stipend

Current meal stipend is $30 for dinner, and $20 for lunch on weekends & holidays.

Especially after paying for delivery, I find myself ordering Chipotle or similar food most of the time instead of the $30 seared ahi tuna steak I was getting as an intern just a couple years ago.

“Working with Adam was an absolute pleasure. I was paired with him to prepare for a Renewable Energy Project Finance modelling test. He admitted that he was quite rusty in the space and did not know if he could provide significant value. However, this turned into the best WSO Mentor Session I've had by far. Adam was extremely helpful, kind and uplifting. He was able to find a previous, real model he had worked on, and we went through it together. It was incredibly helpful to have seen a real Project Finance model. He dove through it line-by-line - inputs, assumptions, debt financing, etc. We also started the call from a very high-level, discussing Revenues, Sources & Uses of Cash and Debt Financing in Project Finance. Overall, the call felt more like a conversation with an incredibly-helpful peer who was cheering me on. He also provided actionable takeaways following the call, and sent over additional resources to help me prepare. I will absolutely be sure to work with Adam again in the future!”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“The mock interview was extremely useful and gave me a much clearer understanding of the areas I need to improve before upcoming interviews. I particularly appreciated how specific and constructive the feedback was, both on the technical questions and on the way I structured my behavioral answers. The interviewer created a realistic and challenging environment, which made the session especially valuable. I also found the comments on how to make my answers more concise, structured and convincing very helpful. Overall, it was a great opportunity to identify weaknesses, gain confidence, and understand how to approach future interviews more effectively.”
