Is it normal or acceptable for a firm you’re interviewing with not to pay for your travel (meaning travel to their location for the purpose of the interview - in a different country)? When interviewing for internships I always had any employer sponsor it (either reimburse or book directly) and was wondering if it’s different once full-time employed as it is assumed I can afford it or what? I do have the money but am still annoyed to pay for the flight and hotels myself, should I insist?

If you’re already having doubts I would not move forward. If they really want you they should put some skin in the game. Especially in this job market.

I agree. That seems like a very expensive interview. I think I would cancel.

I’ve always had them pay for me to travel to interviews. They’re either not that interested, or cheap. Either way, I’d move on without them.

There are plenty of other firms who won't nickel and dime you. If they're already cheap during this part of the process, how do you think they'll be during your tenure? Might be good to move on.

I don’t necessarily think not talking to HR is an issue, I was interviewing with Amazon and didn’t speak to anyone in HR until the last step, before that it was just hiring manager and team, but through their Amazon emails, not LinkedIn. I think combination of everything seems a tiny bit sketch, but not too bad. At this stage it’s just taking up your time, if you’re happy to keep wasting some time because you want the role I’d probably keep going the way you are, but wouldn’t put in notice obviously until you had something in writing and spoke to someone in HR. I wouldn’t pay for my flight unless I could tack on a personal trip or something and even then only if I really really wanted the job. Sets a bad precedent. If they’re wanting to meet you face to face they should be the one paying for you to fly over

What’s more, the process is dragging on for a long time (I’ve alreay had 4 interviews and am supposed to have another day of back to back meetings). It’s full time but entry level… I never spoke to HR or headhunters unlike with other firms I’m interviewing with, only directly to the team or the hiring manager and the latter communicates via Linkedin instead of e-mails or other official channels. Are these red flags? It’s a top three bank but I feel this is not a great look

Continue the process but explain if they want you to travel for the interview it will be on their dime since their competitors in the US are paying for travel, too. I think it’s too competitive of a market to front money to travel somewhere for their interview.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
