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.

First of all, Slalom doesn't have recruiting "rounds". This is either BS or OP is misunderstanding how reimbursement works.

Hello,
I've recieved an offer from Morgan Stanley, my previous salary was around 6 Lpa and last offered was around 15 Lpa (WFH), I quoted 40 to 45% on top of that around 22 Lpa considering Mumbai location, WFO and Glassdoor pay range.
Did I just do a mistake by quoting too high a number? Please let me know your opinions.
