Have an interview with a large company in the SF Bay Area. I'm based in London. They said they can only book travel within the US- is it reasonable that I expect to be reimbursed for int'l flight?

find a cheap ticket to new york, say you'll be visiting family at the time there, and ask if they can cover the ny-sf flight; should be cheaper overall

The entitlement is strong in this one

Unless you are truly world class talent, how can you expect them to fly you from London. They can get plenty of talent, even international talent, from Palo Alto (Stanford). Pay for the ticket yourself if you feel strongly about the opp

It's better to just ask instead of guessing on this one

I really don't think it's entitlement. I've asked to interview locally (via London office and webex), Skype, or postponing it, and they still say they want me to come in less than a week. I don't think I'm being unreasonable for not wanting to spend $1000 to interview. I can't be the only one who thinks this way

Correct but if you ask them if they'll comp you for the travel you book yourself, it may work out, or work out some sort of arrangement via skype

It's not. The interview is very close and it worked out to ~700 dollars to get to NYC. It was cheaper to fly straight to SF (~650). Honestly this isn't a big ask, and I believe they should pay- the fact that they don't is a huge red flag to me. Google, FB etc have all done it, and I don't know if I'll like them or they'll like me- why would I pay thru the nose just to not get it?

I'm an analyst, btw

How big is the company?

Publicly traded B2B tech firm, 25Bn in revenue. Not as well known but definitely a megacorp.

Who said they can't? A decision maker? As you say OP, it raises red flags. Are they serious about you and you about them?

I'd say I was interested and not 'serious'. This interview was a way for me to get to know the firm in person. They're semi well known, but not a google or FB. I'm not interested anymore.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
