Pretty sure most well-paying jobs will pay for your airline tickets and hotels to interview. Not sure why you would take a job in a very high COL city that doesn't cover that type of thing, sounds like you're walking right into poverty
- madengr 7y agoDitto. It’s been 23 years since I looked for a job, but all 5 interviews out of EE grad school flew me out and paid for hotel, car, etc. Have times changed? This was standard practice back then.
- opportune 7y agoFor me no, I'm in my early-mid twenties (granted, I've worked at large tech companies) and every interview I've ever been on paid for all the travel related expenses
- filoleg 7y agoNot at all. If anything, a lot of tech companies have only upped the stakes since then. Every single one of my friends who just graduated college and was actively interviewing recently had not only flights/hotels/transportation taken care of, but also got some nice perks like first class tickets or airline lounge access at the airport. Most also reimburse for food and any other expenses while you are in the city, up to a certain limit per day, which is usually very generous (the most common one I heard was $75/day for food). I don't know of a single dev in real life who had to fly out for an interview and had to pay for flights/hotel out of their own pocket.
