Non-NYC biglaw bros, do you get to expense meals at night?

Date: June 23rd, 2018 1:40 AM Author: Embarrassed To The Bone Bearded Boiling Water Depressive I assumed every firm let you expense food essentially every night but apparently this is not true outside NYC? Please explain. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008545&forum_id=2#36295193) |

Date: June 23rd, 2018 12:52 PM Author: wine mad cow disease Ya, went from NYC biglaw to non-SF/NYC biglaw and found this was totally gone. Still in place if you're at a predominantly NYC satellite office, e.g., DPW in DC or something.
Non-NYC firms have a lot less leverage and often lower billing rates, so containing costs is bigger. Clients are also tighter on expenses when it's not a big M&A thing. |

Date: June 23rd, 2018 1:18 PM Author: shivering dilemma You can but no one does it with the regularity you are asking about in your OP. Not enough people stay that late.
Even when I stay late, I don't get food usually. I'd rather just wait, take a car at 10:00 p.m. and eat healthy stuff at home. Eating out 2x daily is a great way to get fat. |

Date: June 23rd, 2018 2:07 PM Author: Embarrassed To The Bone Bearded Boiling Water Depressive Based off these responses I guess NYC Biglaw does pay more. I probably get 5-10k per year in food/car fringe benefits alone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008545&forum_id=2#36296793) |

Date: June 23rd, 2018 3:04 PM Author: shivering dilemma No, you're missing the point. People are saying it's not needed most of the time because non-NYC work less. Your "fringe" benefit of a $25 seamless meal nets your firm $1000 extra in billables every night.
Also, NYC biglaw are a bunch of whining babies because they don't get into the office until 11 am everyday. |

It's awful. |
