I'm based in DFW. Interviewing at a firm with multiple offices. Have been through several rounds of interviews. Last one is with partner who splits time between DFW and NYC. Has been scheduled and postponed 3-4 times now because partner has been in NYC and hasn't returned to DFW. Do I offer to fly up to NYC on my dime? Does that smack of desperation? Just wait it out? Seems to be a very good opportunity.

I’d offer a zoom interview. I’d never offer to pay for it myself.

Offered that. Response was “he’d really like to meet with you in person.” Have already spoken with him by phone for over an hour.

I would offer to go to NYC if you really want the job but don’t explicitly say on your dime. I think specifying you’ll pay does seem a little bit too eager. They may offer to fly you up.

I was in a similar situation, and I “just happened” to have an personal trip planned to the city where I needed to interview. Interviewers were thrilled at the “serendipitous opportunity”! Got the job.

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?
