<prompt> Human: I am in the second round of interviews for a tech company located in the Midwest and they want me to come to their HQ for an in-person interview. Only issue is that I live on the west coast and I would have to spend about 900 to get out to their HQ.The interviewer flat out told me youre the best candidate that Ive interviewed and wed love to have you onboard. I sent an e-mail explaining that I may not be able to fit the flight in my budget they want me to fly out next week and asked if I had any other options.They are willing to do a video interview but I would still need to fly in for the final round of interviews. It doesnt seem like they are going to help pay for any travel expenses. How should I respond to this?  <response>: They should absolutely be paying for you to go there. If they cant do that then its a sign of other problems with how they operate. What if they want you to travel once you work there? Will they make you charge things to a personal card? Do they reimburse slow? Do they have a low travel stipend for meals? Do they limit hotel options? Do they have crappy health insurance policies? The list goes on...
