The thought that I have to fly for 5hrs or drive 4500+ miles for an in-person interview is just wild.

4500 miles? What are you changing countries?

West coast as in Alaska? There's no two points in the lower 48 that are 4500 miles apart. The max distance between the furthest points is maybe 3500.

Are they offering to fly you there? Anytime I’ve heard of someone being made to travel that far for an interview, they’re being flown by the company.

No, It's coming out of my pocket. One of my roommate had the same experience so she passed on the interview. She works in Finance.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)
