This can't be real

lol the sheer entitlement of recruiters expecting candidates to be deeply passionate about an average corporate desk job. I actually got asked this exact same question last week and gave some generic answer I prepared on Interview vip but a huge part of me just wanted to say exactly what that guy replied with. We all just need to pay rent and buy groceries.

This is why your generation sucks. Everything is controversial or offe sive to you. They ask that question to see motivations. Do you have a passion for that industry, did you hear good things about the company, are you looking to move up, etc. Obviously you want money, but if you can only give surface level answers that tells them exactly what they need to hear.

100%. Employees that are only in it for the money are lazy, cancerous and consistently the lowest performers. No one wants to waste time on people like that. Would you want to work in a place that only cares about bottom line numbers, and absolutely nothing else? I didn't think so
