But relocation expenses are covered in a lot of jobs, yet people don’t relocate. Beyond the early career moves, it is extremely hard for people to move. It goes beyond just financial hurdles. It’s not easy for example to move your kids to a new city and new schools.
IME sometimes you have to ask for it. Last time I moved I was working for a big soulless F500 type company.
When I applied to the job there was a note saying that they would not offer relocation expenses. I was one of two people hired into the team at the time for similar roles, and the other guy told me he managed to get relocation money just by asking
