Is it unreasonable that an SAP contract position offering $100/hour in a different state requires you to cover your own travel expenses? Including flight, accommodation, meals, etc

Yes that's absurd.

Thanks - I haven’t taken a contractor position before so I wasn’t sure what is/isn’t reasonable so appreciate the insight

The rate itself is low even if the expenses are covered

like

They were offering 85/hour initially, but I told them no and they pushed it up to 100 which was the max they were willing to go. But they said 100 was all-in, meaning that they expected me to cover any travel related expenses

You will spend more money on travel and expenses that what you will earn@100 usd. Give it a pass

like

You should give them an expense cap that is reimbursable so it’s more predictable

You have to negotiate though

Maybe with stipulations that reimbursable expenses need to be pre-approved by trip so there is visibility

That way you are trying to meet them halfway by agreeing to take on overages and keeping the expense predictable for them. It’s not always black and white.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
