Welp. Passed the last virtual interview, and now I get to fly to seattle for the final in-person one monday. Flights are borked of course. Had to settle for flying out this friday and coming back tuesday. 600$ for the only nonstop flight. All the rest are way too expensive, Spirit, or have me flying all day just to arrive in the middle of the night. Here's hoping I ain't wasting all this money to be turned down! Gonna crash with friends at least, make a trip out of it.
It's a good way to gate keep. Add a little sunk cost as well, smart.
