They’re not bad. They’re similar to questions asked by employers to candidates. The fact that you find them arrogant, to me, says that you hold yourself in higher regard than you hold your employees; that you feel superior in some way. If someone asked you to share some board slides, you could simply explain they’re company confidential then try to tease out what information they’re after with follow up questions. Or maybe consider that they care enough about the business (or want to appear to) to ask questions like that. Why is asking where you see yourself in 5 years arrogant? I own my own profitable company, no vc funding. I’ve never been asked that, but if I were, I’d be delighted to give an answer. Totally reasonable question. If someone asked me why I wasn’t relaxing on the beach, I’d explain to them that it gets old. Sitting idle is a terrible way to spend time, although it might not appear so if you haven’t had the experience. I’d tell them that I hope to get them to a place one day where they could see just how overrated it is and judge for themselves.
