Can I Get Telephone Interviews? If Not, Do They Pay To Fly You Out?

I'd be willing to take many IB or AM jobs regardless of location, because there aren't a ton in my home city. With that said though, I don't have the money to fly out to different places for interviews. Do most companies pay to fly you out? Or is that just too expensive for first year analysts? If they don't fly you out, do they at least do phone interviews?

If you are far away, usually first rounds are phone interviews and then the banks fly you out/provide accomodations for final rounds.

Don't worry. They'll fly you out and put you up.
