Tips on discussing reimbursement for travel expenses during the “interview” process? I was invited to travel to a different state to discuss joining a firm. Should I even bring up the topic of expenses , or just pay my own way?

if you have money to spare, don’t mention it.

If you will be stretched for cash by the travel, ask if there is a travel stipend. If they say no, ask to interview over Zoom.

I agree with A1. If you are going to discuss, i would discuss with HR or recruiting staff and not the partners or associates you interview with.

Politely but matter of factly just Ask the hr/recruiter person what information they need from you to be able to book the travel or if they prefer you book and submit the receipts - and if the later so they have any rules/guidance or preferred vendor.

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.
