Exactly. When I changed jobs in 82, the company paid for flight, hotel, meals, etc., and then paid to move me from Delaware to Texas.
As others said earlier, it depends on the job. Some jobs are eligible for relocation expenses and some aren't. Just depends on what the company is willing to do.
It's also about negotiation and what the company is willing to do. I remember one guy that got hired that was in the National Guard. The company normally only gave 3 weeks vacation for new hires, but because he had to spend 2 weeks in the National Guard, he was actually able to negotiate getting that 2 weeks covered and get his 3 weeks on top of that.
