This reminds me of a great joke I've read on Twitter years ago:

What is your greatest weakness?

I'm honest.

But, I don't think this qualifies as a weakness...

I don't give a fuck about what you think.

🤣 Never had the opportunity to test it out in real life though.

And to add my two cents, I usually do like @quinncuatro, I flip those shitty questions into "what I'm improving on right now". But I also like to ask those questions to companies:

I see you just raised $2million. What do you think your greatest weakness is, in term of keeping the company afloat until the next round?

This usually leads to very interesting conversations ;)

"We're going to need you to sign this NDA."

Is this a job offer?
