But paying out of pocket and commuting, wasn't that your decision to put yourself into that scenario? It's immediately (and clearly) lop-sided.

Yes, I made the decision to travel on my own bat. I could easily afford it, that's not what I was annoyed about.

It was the fact that I'd taken the time & effort to meet with these people and to not even get so much as an email back... it's not right. People shouldn't be treated that way, job candidate or not. It's basic manners.

Honestly, does it matter?

When I ask that, I'm talking about the lack of email more than the lack of compensation. It's just kind of a dick move.

It's kind of like that date that you both absolutely loved over a long weekend, but the other person refuses to respond to. You can't really be mad, except think bitterly, "...really?"
