First round interview with Slalom went well, but they want me to pay for my own travel for the next round. Is that typical? I agreed but I was kind of 😒.

@S2, even industry jobs pay for you to travel to their offices if they are in a different market, pretty hard to sell yourself to a potential candidate if you aren't willing to fork over the 1k or so in incremental recruiting expense

like

OP who are you traveling to meet, would this be a final round?

Honestly if the office isn't interested enough to spend $500 to get you out there for the day... I don't understand why you would travel on your own dime.

This isn't real, right? I would NEVER even consider working for a company that asked this from me. SC1 must be high, because this is ridiculous. My advice to OP: Cancel everything. Say, "Thanks. But no thanks". That's what they deserve after trying to turn the screws on you like that.

OP; I'm a leader at Slalom. Email me at hmxte@slipry.net and I'll address this. In my years at Slalom I've never heard of such a thing and plan to do what I can to fix it immediately. Use a burner to contact me if that makes you more comfortable.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
