Interviewed and did not hear back about travel expenses after more than a month
3 answers
Attended a Consulting Interview for one of the offices of a firm outside of NA/EU.
Got an offer, and had to deny since the compensation was lower than I expected given the distance I had to travel, and they didn't have the flexibility to negotiate. The recruiter stated prior to my accepting the interview that I would get back my interview fees (~$500 USD). Interview fees included my flight to the city, as well as transportation (Uber) to and from the interview location. I paid this upfront to attend the interview, as I was told that it would be refunded.
After 8 emails and 2+ months, I have not received a response for over a month since the last email, which stated that the finance team would get back to me with my refund. I emailed the partner I interviewed with yesterday, with no response. What is your advice?

@joeqwerty - It is the regional firm in the Middle East. You think it would work for international claims & for such a small fee?

Given the location of the firm the best you can do is write this off as a lesson learned. Never pay your own airfare/hotel for a job interview. If they really want to see you in person then they'll pay for it.

The recruiter is the one that made the promise to you.
Start leaning on that person and their firm, you'll have better luck.
Unless they've provided you with a bunch of good potential opportunities... in which case just drop it altogether instead of burning that bridge.
