how much money do people spend on meal comp. you need like $35-40, tops, inclusive of delivery and tip.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:10 pmI thought most NY biglaw attorneys receive the tech grant every few years? I heard STB is not one of the generous ones when it comes to meal comp, paul weiss is more known for being generous (can anyone confirm that?)
accidentally heard PW allows ppl to order Michelin star meals without cap (over the summer), and several summers told me they reimbursed over 200 dollars a day for meals and dessert. Not that it matters once you start working ...Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:22 pmhow much money do people spend on meal comp. you need like $35-40, tops, inclusive of delivery and tip.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:10 pmI thought most NY biglaw attorneys receive the tech grant every few years?

Skadden’s is comparable to everyone else’s. Not really a meaningful difference hereAnonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 2:14 pmNoticed other V10 firms have benefits like meal comp for dinner if you work past X time and also tech stipends. For example, I know STB has 2.5k tech stipend - does Skadden have tech stipends? Also what is the max dinner amount you can expense to the firm?
Incoming SA hence the anon.
Same anon from earlier -- yeah, my point is that when you're actually ordering food in-office consistently, you don't want some $200 Michelin star meal , you want decent food that you can eat relatively quickly and keep going. Pasta, heavy meat entrees, etc., just not a great idea once you're doing multiple nights at your desk. To each their own, it's just a perk that really stops mattering once you're a month into practice.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 11:00 pmaccidentally heard PW allows ppl to order Michelin star meals without cap (over the summer), and several summers told me they reimbursed over 200 dollars a day for meals and dessert.

Excuse my plebeian question, but there's no way that Michelin-starred food delivers very well, right? I'd honestly prefer generic fast casual slop while I'm working in the office.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 11:00 pmaccidentally heard PW allows ppl to order Michelin star meals without cap (over the summer), and several summers told me they reimbursed over 200 dollars a day for meals and dessert.

Interestingly enough STB puts it on their website that they give out tech stipends. But FWIW at my V10 they didn’t put it on their benefits page but still do give tech stipends.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 11:03 pmSkadden’s is comparable to everyone else’s.

same anon. no idea if that's the regular practice, just heard that's the practice for summersAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 12:27 am$200 per day seamless budget with no one caring at PW seems like a huge lie. I probably ordered seamless 150 times over the last year we were in office and might just need to try to lateral over to PW if this is true.
How much is the Seamless budget at STB? I saw $25 on a thread but that was from 2017.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:10 pmI thought most NY biglaw attorneys receive the tech grant every few years?
