No, I will not stop asking this in interviews.
The point of this question is to understand your carrier goals but also to show that you came well prepared and have done your homework about the position and the company. Experience has shown that those who can't give a satisfactory answer to this question are going to a burden to their future team.
- toenail 2y agoI'm not going to prepare and "do homework" for each and every interview. If you have so little regard for my time we're not a good fit.
- rsanek 2y agoisn't this question in the context of a face to face interview already? so you're setting aside time to talk to these people for 30+ minutes anyway. is it really that difficult to spend a few minutes scanning the company website / eng blog and finding at least something that you could say looks interesting? i feel like if you're talking to so many companies that this would be too much work, it's probably useful to focus on tightening that funnel so more early interviews turn into offers.
- toenail 2y agoIt's a bad question. A competent interviewer can figure out what I'm interested in by asking work related questions.
- lodovic 2y agoThis is just nurturing an environment where people need to act obedient and according to the hierarchy. When you hire a car mechanic or painter, you typically don't ask them why they would want to work on your car or house specifically. But I guess there's a cultural difference between contracting and staff positions.
