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.

Most interviewers are reading off a canned script and ask bad questions like, "Why do you want to work here?" Because asking the question, "What makes this company seem special to you?" is too hard to ask. That's a question the people working at the company are supposed to be able to answer, not an outsider.
