EY covered my interview expense including my lunch 😉

McKinsey never reimbursed me my interview travel expenses - this was years ago, but still

Depends.. sometime the role is targeting a local resource based in a certain city. If they feel there is no need to import talent, no need to cover expenses.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
