Interviewing for an agency in a different city and they want me to come meet people in person next week. Do they pay for my travel? How do I ask?

Ask in a way to make it obvious they have to pay.
Something like: “ok, cool I can xx date, who’s coordinate the travel and the expenses?” As they will also have to pay for the taxi/Uber/Lyft from you home to the airport and any other expense.
Don’t be shy about it as it’s common.
Good luck

They always pay. Never heard a company have someone come to them, and they not pay. Not even juniors.

Ask if they coordinate travel or reimburse. That way you assume they pay, as you should. And will hopefully coordinate

Should they pay - yes.

Is it a guarantee - not necessarily. Did they reach out to you or you to them ?

Great, thanks all! It’s a director position so will be direct and ask!

I’m interviewing for junior positions and my travel & hotel were both paid for! The recruiter gave me the reimbursement details before my interview date, but if it’s not forthcoming, don’t hesitate to ask about their processes!

Just directly ask, Thanks, I look forward to meeting everyone in person. How will the travel arrangements and expenses be handled?

They may say that they only pay for travel for certain positions. If you are too junior they may not. It is bullshit but has happened to me early in my career.

my former agency didn’t below AD. i won’t name them (too small) but if you contacted them, you were expected to pay your way for the interview.

An agency in a different city wanted to bring me in for an interview., but I had to pay for my flight and hotel.

I didn’t pursue that one.

Hey AD, let us know what happen and what did they say about your travel?
Good luck on your interview!!!

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

Maybe a noob Q - When does it make sense to take a pay cut when changing companies? I'm a Producer/PM trying to decide if I should jump to a smaller, lesser-known company (COLOR) for more money but fewer benefits than my current job, or with TeamOne for a slight pay cut but more benefits than my current job or COLOR. In reading through forums, the pattern seems to be getting pay raises in jumping between companies >.< What do you consider?

Any insight or advice is beyond appreciated!!
