Not necessarily a red flag but not a company you want to work for, either.

I would have to be so broke and desperate for a job to consider flying to NYC for an interview that I would probably just turn tricks instead

They probably just don’t have budget to fly you in, and that’s not a big deal.

Sounds like a typical Manhattan firm. Manhattan, KS that is.

Can you afford to drop a grand or so without sweating it and/or would you be pissed if you went and ended up not getting an offer?

Good indicator of how the company treats its employees .... Tells me they are cheap, maximize profits and have no regard for anyone but themselves. No need in being overly cautious or asking them to consider paying your fees ... just tell them you are no longer interested

I’ve never heard of that for any type of white collar/professional job. Is it a really small company?
If they aren’t struggling to find local candidates then they should just not interview any from outside the area. And if they are struggling to fill it then a plane ticket and a hotel room is a pretty small price to pay.
And suffice to say, this doesn’t bode well for any type of relocation package to be included in the ultimate offer.

Ask them for a Skype interview. It's really the same fricking thing.
They just want to set eyes on you and make sure you're not a retard.

Absolutely no way I would do that. Honestly, any company that would ask you to pay for your own expenses is not one that I would want to work for.
I would just politely be up front with them saying something like: "I really appreciate the opportunity, but I am just not at a point financially where I can take the risk of spending XXX dollars without reassurance that it may result in some further opportunity. Is there a possibility that we can do this via video?"
If they push the issue and insist that you fly on your own dime, then you have your answer....
ETA: to clarify, are they asking you to pay for the trip and they will reimburse you later or are they just straight asking you to pay with no reimbursement?

I would decline and ask for a Skype interview. Skip all the air travel and you can wear sweatpants during the interview.
Win-win

If they want you, they will foot the bill.
Respectfully decline.

We've hired 3 out of state employees in the past couple of years via telephone and then Skype interviews.

Yeah no. There’s no way I’d pay my own way for a job interview. Thank you very much but not interested is all I’d say.

This is for a job I was already previously on the fence on wether or not it was the right move for me.

I would no longer be interested

No professional company will ever ask you to pony up money.

I’ve held one professional job since graduating college 4 years ago, so I don’t know entirely what to expect in the interview process. But I’m turned off by a company who wants me to buy a plane ticket for an interview without any reimbursement. To me, it calls into question how well this company would treat employees. Is this pretty standard for most companies interview procedures and I’m overreacting, or is it truly a red flag?
Unless it’s a start-up or some sort of industry conference there, no. You’re on the fence about it and they need to sell themselves to you as well. frick it.

I interviewed with a startup in California on my own dime and got the job. I was pretty confident I would get it and really wanted to move there. The job didn't last long but it got my foot in the door which is what I really wanted.
