I once had 2 interviews for jobs with different skill sets and the same HR person was there. It felt weird to be passionate about both

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I'm passionate about quite a lot of things.

A day job isn't one of those, but it's not a single-use line.

Having a place to live is a plus too.

Health insurance is also a nice bonus.

I like money, that's the answer.

The "here" part of the question changes the entire meaning of the question, rendering the stated answer completely off topic (cause, you know, "here" is not the only place you can earn money for food).

Since you don't know what it's like to work there, it's a dumb question. The only thing you can really comment on is the business side of things. They either do cool stuff or they don't. If they don't you have to lie and say how stoked you are to make their boring products.

Companies compete with one another, and that means the conditions of employment tend to be comparable from one employer to another. What the employees get is largely superficial choice, similar to how you get 50 brands of chips that are all basically the same. That's capitalist relations in a nutshell.

In this hypothetical situation, it is where we are requesting an adequate sum of the monies to pay for the required sustenance. Any place may do, but this is the place the responded for an interview. And if my experience is anything to go by, then this is the only place to respond out of hundreds of applications.
