I haven't seen anybody else post this, so here is an article my buddy just showed me on the top 25 weirdest interview questions of 2010.
25 Weirdest Interview Questions of 2010
I think some of these questions are just stupid, specifically the martial arts question, #3. But a lot of them get very creative. Again, they are looking to see how you think through the question, not so much that you get it correct. My friend said he will memorize the amount of ridges on a quarter along with the answers to all the questions, and then he'll be golden. I told him, no, they will think you have issues and ding you- besides the fact that they will ask a different random question that you won't know the answer to.
Anyway, have fun with it.
I went for an interview at Google... One of the interviewers asked me:
The world is running out of oil - how many barrels of oil would the US need to make it through the next two weeks?
19M/day * 14 = 266M barrels (that's 11 billion gallons of crude oil, 42 gallons to a barrel)...and I would answer that off the top of my head (which would totally defeat the purpose, since I'm assuming they want you to try to figure it out instead of already knowing the answer)
(and btw, the 19M is an approximation, there are various definitions for "oil" and depending on which you use, and the date, the number will fluctuate by a M or 2)
Oops monkey bone posted some of those questions, but only put up 10 of them w/out the link. So i guess my post was worthwhile.
Any article written on yahoo, msn, google anywhere people can leave comments its interesting to read the comments... and then these people wonder why they don't have well paying jobs....
Good point. They are often very emotional and opinionated posters. While I think the martial arts question is a poor one, the fact that I don't like it is irrelevant. The fact is that it could be a question that lies between me and a job. For the record, I think the 3 weaknesses question is also a bad one.
One of the most intelligent statements I've read today.
I was reading one of the articles on the shooting today and someone said if everyone there had a gun, it would not have been as bad.
It's hip to be square.
I was asked what my favorite sandwich was and why.....
Wtf does that tell someone about me? lol
according to some drunk I met, your favorite food relates to your interests in sex.
A couple questions I've been asked:
How many text messages are sent within the UK in a year?
How many pharmacies are there in the US?
Why is a manhole cover in the shape of a circle? (this one actually has 3 answers)
Holy shit, I just looked up how many ridges are on a quarter, and I was off by 1. Lesson: drink red wine before interviews.
if you could choose one shape: circle, square or triangle, what would it be?
GS Trading
Circle, definitely.
Circle, definitely.[/quote]
The one I chose. I used the answer for the manhole brainteaser and said a circle because it would be easier to move by rolling it lol.
I don't know about you guys, but I would be really tempted to say to the interviewer, "Before I answer, may I ask you something? Why are you asking this retarded question in the first place, and what does it have to do with finance?"
I knew a guy who once went to an interview where they asked him some ridiculous math question like what's 3,456 times 7,472?
He then told them "thank you very much" and got up and extended his hand as if to imply "i'm done with this interview". The interviewer said "wait, wait, wait...sit down...why won't you answer the question?"
He cooly replied, "Because, if that question is indicative of the type of work I'm going to be doing for your firm, I don't want to work there; and if your firm can't afford a calculator, then I definitely don't want to work there".
The interviewer laughed, and the interview went on. He ended up getting a second round interview...
(The position was a huge reach for him given his credentials. If you're interviewing for a position that you know is a huge reach, you need to do something to stand out...otherwise you'll just be a part of the herd that gets eliminated because your GPA isn't high enough or whatever)
"10. Given the numbers 1 to 1000, what is the minimum number of guesses needed to find a specific number if you are given the hint "higher" or "lower" for each guess you make? (Reportedly from Facebook)"
Wouldn't it be a minimum of 2 guesses or am I missing something here? First being the initial guess and 2nd after being told higher/lower?
You need 9 guesses, with each guess you eliminate half of the numbers, For example if the number was 1000 then the process would go like this (round any decimals to nearest integer):
This strategy is the most optimal one and 9 is the max number of guesses using it. However, the way the question is phrased leaves 1 as a possible answer. If the number is between 750, or even 500, which is possible, the guesses will be fewer than 9. The question does not specify anything beyond the number range and that the goal is to find the minimum guesses.
Wow, 2,149 angry comments on that article.
^^I think it should be 1 - theoretically, it is possible to guess it correctly at the first try.
I was asked what was the biggest animal I could kill with my bare hands in a confined space
How I would respond:
A blue whale. If it is a confined space and I am able to survive in it, then I could assume there is not sufficient water inside it to sustain a blue whale. Thus the simple act of choosing a whale and covering it's blow hole would kill it.
If the interview is a dick and responds that there IS sufficient water to sustain a blue whale, then I'd drown an elephant.
Yeah, that's right, I just shit ALL OVER that question.
Confined as in the animal cannot get away from you. For example, blue whale would just swim away in the ocean. An elephant would kill you before you could even hurt it all.
cow tipping!
Interview questions in Braverman's day:
Q. Can you call people on the phone and get them to send you money?
A. Yes.
Q. When can you start?
lol at this
I remember being taken aback once when my interview blurted out "how big is your cock?"
Ah the naivety of yesteryear.
I was asked at an interview -- how many jelly beans can you fit in a 747. Funny/weird.
I was once asked, "how much money do you want to make?" i said, "as much as your company is willing to give me." the interviewer responded, "you're hired on the spot at a salary of $0/hr." i started the next day at GS IB
I think some of you missed the point of these questions. A lot of those are exactly the type of questions you would get in a consultancy interview (especially the estimation questions). Interviewers just want to see how you react to the question and how you structure your thoughts to answer the question. I also think that the interviewer wants to see the type of person you. I do agree that the martial arts question is really weird, especially because of the answer he expected.
The brainteaser I got and wasn't expecting was - How is a Chinese field worker's livelihood tied to T-Bill auctions?
Got this one once: "What's your spirit animal"
Answer: "A dragon"
Got the job (but didn't take it)... lol...
a cockroach...lol....
My buddy got a great one in a consulting interview: if you were working in the San Diego zoo, how much would it cost you to rent a panda from a chinese zoo ? As discussed previously I agree that these questions have no clear answer, the thought process and the way candidate structure their calculations is the only thing that really matters actually. I would argue that "what was the biggest animal I could kill with my bare hands in a confined space" is definitely ridiculous though...I believe some of these questions are also launched at you to check your reaction to unexpected situations
lol i've been asked about my sex life by a jolly looking fat guy
one of the most awkward interviews ever
Here's a good one:
You have a justice weighing scale, and you want to be able to weigh any human in increments of 1 lb. You are only allowed to buy 6 weights though. How should you pick the weights so that you can weigh any human (accurate to the nearest lb).
Assumption: no human weighs more than 350 lbs.
Weird/Inappropriate Interview Questions (Originally Posted: 10/13/2013)
My buddy had an interview the other day and he was asked some weird interview questions about his ethnic background and his country of origination, his religion, several questions about what his parents do for a living, and weird questions about how he paid for college (asked if he took out student loans, etc.).
Only one guy asked him these questions out of the several he interviewed with.
He didn't think much of it, but I think its rather inappropriate and strange.
Anyone else ever hear of something like this?
what kind of bank was this?
Half of those questions are illegal to ask during an interview.
This.
guessing he's asking because his friend didn't get an offer.
It depends on the context. If the question is being asked as an "interview" question it would be more inappropriate than if the interviewee is simply having a conversation with interviewer and the question comes up ("Oh, cool, you just said you're from India. What state? What language is your first language?). Even if the question is strictly "illegal" it doesn't mean discrimination has occurred, even if the candidate doesn't get the job. If no actual discrimination occurs, there is no real recourse.
Ah yes, the many beautiful states of India. America #1
If this is in the US, your "friend" can sue. An employer cannot ask questions regarding race, religion, sexual orientation, and etc. It is against the law for ANY firm in the U.S. to ask questions regarding the aforementioned subjects.
If there's no discrimination then there is no point in the suit, and the question isn't technically illegal if there is no malice. Asking those questions does not automatically rise to discrimination. If no discrimination actually occurred then there is no case and no damages can be granted.
This article indicates that there technically are no illegal questions, just protected classes (race, gender, religion, etc.), and that intent is what makes a question illegal: http://www.learnvest.com/2013/07/4-inappropriate-interview-questions-an…
"You just sue". No you don't, because you got no proof of it. You don't because you don't want to be blacklisted in other companies. You don't because why waste your time. You don't because you probably won't win. You don't because if it's for money, it's peanuts. You don't because you don't just yell out: "It's unfair, am gonna sue you!"
Back to OP: your friend needs to just suck it up. That's life, and there is nothing you can do about it.
This. You have no power over them, and it's their word vs yours. Best case you'll win and make headlines, blacklisting you from every future employer. Worst case no one gives a sh*t (the most likely case), you're blacklisted, and have the rep of becoming the one publicly outed butthurt finance kid post-Vayner.
Since when does the government need proof to indict people in finance
if he didn't get an offer, I wouldn't sue, but I would send HR an email and notify them that there was one interviewer who asked all these questions and he found it extremely inappropriate. Leave it at that and see where it goes...you could get lucky, and the loser who asked you those questions will likely find himself in a giant tubload of shit.
If I learned anything from this site, and from others in the industry it's that everyone is friends. You try to fuck the wrong guy and 10 mins later say bye to getting a job anywhere.
This reminds me of a similar thread couple months back, where the guy wanted to sue, too. He obviously decided not to for his own good.
i just don't see how this is inappropriate. you are hiring the person sitting across the table from you and expect this person to be reliable, diligent, and not negligible. if he wants to learn about you as a person, instead of your bullshit rehearsed "strengths and weaknesses", i think he has the right to. why would your friend be embarrassed to answer these questions? clearly, he is not cut out for ib if he can't handle this. seriously, america is breeding fucking pussies who are quick to bitch out and run to the law for help. get a grip.
fyi, i get asked all of these questions all of the time and don't mind speaking on my background. shit, beats facing brainteasers.
Only time i have heard this kind of douchiness was some douchebag at ML pressing kids for information for a Financial Advisor role. They want to know if your parents have money and connections. This dude actually was asking people if their parents had black cards. Basically the guy was using interview list of private school kids as leads.
Wait to see if he gets an offer. If not, contact the NLRB.
i've been asked such quest. but the interview was frm da same quest. i'm from; however, to be asked such quest. randomly is odd
Suing is dumb. But the threat of a suit? No company wants to deal with the negative publicity. Maybe he can blackmail his way into a job.
I imagine both parties getting lawyers for the performance review.
Anyway the company sounds like a dump. I wouldn't like to work in a place where the interview isn't even over and already a couple of laws have been broken.
There are millions of laws on the books. The interviewee probably broke several on the drive to the office.
I guess that makes it ok, my bad.
"Oh c'mon officer, there are millions of laws, I just broke 1 measly little one, who cares right?"
Lol can you imagine how different the responses to this would be if a landlord had asked the same questions.
personally, i've been asked some in-depth background questions in interviews (including where i grew up, what my parents do, and how i financed school...though this is probably because at the very bottom of my resume, after extra-curriculars, languages and skills/certifications, I include a laundry list of part-time jobs that I've worked in the last 4 years).
it didn't bother me. it just gave me more of an opportunity to talk about myself.
Correct.
its probably illegal but the moment you "sue" a company, your career is over with!!
Although not exactly a question, I was once told that I looked much better in person than in my LinkedIn picture. This was like the first or second thing out of the managers mouth. FYI I'm a male and the manager was a married male as well.
Weirdest Interview Question Ever? (Originally Posted: 09/17/2009)
So I'm wrapping up one of my timeslots at a superday and i get this question
"Whats the one question you would like me to ask you that i already haven't in order to determine how eager you are to work at firm X and how successful you'll be?"
That's not weird. It is giving you the opportunity to address one of your strengths. You can set up a question for yourself to knock it down. For instance, "Why would I be a better candidate for the position over someone else?". You can use this to sell yourself one last time, that's basically what an interview is.
the question wasnt meant to be answered
I must not be understanding what you are asking. The way you stated it, it seemed like they were asking you what question they should have asked you that they didn't (or something along those lines) that would display your "interest/eagerness" in the position. NM I guess then.
How many best friends do you have?
If you were an animal, what would you be?
Played baseball in college and I had a guy ask me why I didnt play baseball at his college.
if you were going to be a tree, what kind would you be and why?
After several rounds of successful interviews, I met the "Head of" an Infrastructure PE fund in Europe for a final interview who asked me: "Where do you see yourself when you are going to be my age?"
I answered something like "Well, I would be thrilled to be in charge of a PE fund, Blah blah blah"..........Big Silence.........
The "Head of" looked at me and said "WRONG! you don't want do that!, the good answer was to be in a paradise island in the Carribeans, rich and surrounded by a GOOD DOZEN of NAKED GIRLS!!!"
That was fairly weird...
You should have asked him how much he was worth. Now that would have been a weird interview question.
As to the OP, I had an interviewer ask me the EXACT same question. It was the last of about 5 or 6 interviewers that day, and it wasn't until the last interview that I realized they all seemed to have a common thread in one of their concerns about my candidacy. So when he asked me that question, I basically just re-iterated a previous question he (a several others had asked), which I had just now realized what they were worried about. So I said "well I noticed several of the people I met with wondered why X, and ... yadda yadda yadda."
Its basically like an interview lifeline. You can discuss a strength if you want, but what you should really be doing is trying to identify a common thread of weakness and addressing it. So when they go back to discuss and everyone is like well "he doesn't eat bologna, surely we can't hire him." The last interviewer will be like "actually, I asked him about that, and it turns out.... blah blah blah."
I would actually ask tat to interviewers at the end of my interviews: "Is there anything that I can clear up for you that would show you that I would be a good fit for the job"
It was perfect because it left a really strong ending impression. It allowed me to take care of anything, and they usually would ask me where else I was interviewing which played out in my favor.
awkward interview question (Originally Posted: 05/17/2011)
I am undergrad and was interviewing today for fulltime/intern position at a PE firm. The person asked why he should hire me over a 26 year old with an MBA from Harvard/Stanford/Wharton. I told him I had more potential and was hungrier than the other "applicant". How would you have responded to such a q?Pretty stupid question if you ask me as I am not competing with the stanford grad who has worked at GS for 3 years.
Reasons I would say are that I'm willing to work harder, I am not bringing preconceived notions in, etc.
Something along the lines of 'The school isn't the person doing the work.'
this.
I usually say that I've had to work harder to get to where I am and cite very specific examples of excessive networking to line up interviews, working jobs + ECs while in school, etc.
...and the Harvard/Stanford/Wharton grad didn't?
You don't know what the other guy can do. Say what you can do. Even draw attention to the fact you know nothing about him.
Your advantage over someone with less experience? That's your edge, creativity, something completely different. The big schools go with the same professors = same output each year. Clonesaplenty.
I would add that you are probably a lot cheaper than the MBA grad.
Ouch tough Q and very hard to answer.. but I find it's a bit unfair to ask this question to a recent undergraduate. I've come across this before, and it seems like the interviewer already has more qualified applicants applying and he's just being a prick to you..
Obnoxious questions like this get asked in S&T interviews all the time. Traders are allowed to do this because everyone knows there's a certain lack of social graces; I am surprised to see it coming from PE where folks are required to make their living largely off of soft skills. Here's a sample answer that might go over well:
I'm really glad you asked that. A few years ago, I was earning $10/hour mowing lawns. I know the value of a dollar and how much value I need to deliver to earn the kind of money you guys are paying. I'm hungrier and I'm going to take less for granted. If you want someone with a few years of experience that may or may not be relevant and an expensive degree which may or may not be helpful, a Harvard MBA might be a good choice. But you're looking for a better alternative- that's why you've stayed open-minded about who you'd interview, and a hungry college kid like me just might be your man.
This question is a lot easier to answer if you've got confidence going into the interview. Some people start with more of it than others, but you'll pick it up as the early part of your career progresses.
The bottom line is that the interviewer is mildly bored and is putting things bluntly- trying to find a reason to consider you rather than the competition. Or he's trying to gauge how much grace you've got under pressure. Or he is an ass and wants some other guy to get the job. It's a difficult question for an untrained college student to have to dance through, but if you can answer it with grace, sobriety, a little bit of assertiveness, and a smile, you've either earned the interviewer's respect- or he at least knows you're a force to be reckoned with in the decision process. The fact that you are a 22-year-old college kid up against 26-year-old MBAs is really a compliment that should make you smile, if anything.
Not sure whether to be flattered or offended...
Not an akward question at all, just tell him you went to HYP and within a few years you'll be his superior then point and laugh
it really depends on your background... what's your age / experience level?
.
These are the questions you should excel at. (Assuming you didn't go to H/Y/P/S/W, etc. (Assuming you didn't because he's asking why he should pick you over the other person)) This is the time to tell him how hard you've worked to be competing against the other H/Y/P person and how you'll continue that hard work through your professional career with the firm.
respond with: why did they hire you, instead of someone that actually asks legitimate, value-added questions during interviews?
person was just a bitch that didnt want me to get job.
Weirdest question you would ask as an interviewer? (Originally Posted: 02/04/2017)
Let's flip the script and say you are now the interviewer. If given the opportunity, what would be the weirdest, most difficult question that you would ask? I think I would go with, "When a hot dog expands, in which direction does it split and why?"
Here is a link to some of my favorite questions: https://www.glassdoor.com/List/Oddball-Interview-Questions-LST_KQ0,27.h…</a">10 Oddball Interview Questions
The hot dog question is bang on - I have a similar one in my back pocket.
"When there's adrenaline involved and the blood flows rapidly towards a man's penis, in which direction does the head tilt first and why?"
Wow, that may be the best one I've heard! I seriously don't know how I would reply to that. To the right I guess?
Best reply you heard so far?
Depends on which or whose head we're talking about.
Towards the nearest vagina.
rubbish man, I would go with:
big up yoself, respek
boo-yah ka-shah
It's hard to be a dick in a politically correct way without getting fired... I've had about 5 min of writer's block. I give up.
One of the senior analysts asked "can I facetime you" for a phone interview just to catch the interviewee off guard and see how they would respond
I would ask what a candidate thinks about "gender pay gap". It's actually a good question to test if a candidate has at least basic understanding of statistics and basic critical thinking ability.
Too politic though.... you can recite statistics on both ends and you being right or wrong depends entirely on the political leanings of someone else.
Would you rather eat shit flavored ice cream, or chocolate flavored shit?
Chocolate flavored shit. At least it tastes like chocolate.
1) What's the funniest politically incorrect joke you know and why?
2) Prove why Black Scholes doesn't offer a closed form solution to American Options.
3) What's the meaning of life?
4) What's in my pocket?
5) What gives you away when you lie?
6) Mathematically demonstrate why you can turn a sphere inside out, but you can't turn a circle inside out.
If I were senior enough/had the balls;
1) You have two condoms, how can you arrange it so that yourself and two of your mates (three people in total); use them safely (i.e. no double ups)?
"What gives you away when you lie" would be great to ask at the start of the interview.
1) You have two condoms, how can you arrange it so that yourself and two of your mates (three people in total); use them safely (i.e. no double ups)?
You use one condom and the 1st mate uses the other condom to mate with the 2rd mate?
Can I fuck the interns?
Rank the seven dwarfs from Snow White in terms of most employable for this position and describe why.

Listen, I was unaware that I had an appointment with you fine people today. As it turns out I have another engagement: I plan to get DRUNK!
Would you rather be the shit of the kings or the king of the shits?
"Would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses or a horse-sized duck?"
Legitimate closing question we used back in the day.
duck sized horses
Would you rather have a nipple sized penis or penis sized nipples?
Would you rather have a nipple sized penis or penis sized nipples?
Which is greater? 17% of 34, or 34% of 17?
Actual question I ask during phone screens, you wouldn't believe how many start to do the math in their head. Just think about it for a minute...
In a fairness, that's a maths trick some children never got told by the teachers
Solved in less than a second its kinda easy when percieved as simple multiplication
"Okay, here's the shot out of the cannon: Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta fuck one, marry one, kill one, go! "
"How much money do you make a year, before taxes?"
"Have you ever farted on an airplane?"
"Are you currently harboring any fugitives?"
Does money buy happiness?
Wasn't a question I asked, but my response to an interviewee's question for our upcoming SA program:
Her: I've talked to some of your prior interns about this, but in your words, how does your firm think about mentorship and communication with interns? Me: We feel that verbal abuse is the best policy.
What was her response?
Cash me oussah, how bow dah?
These are the questions that you would ask during rush to weed out the weird kids.
I once had this smokeshow girl ask me "Do people hate you?"
How long was your last relationship and why did it end?
How do you feel about vegans?
Are you self-aware?
What's your view on the Iran-Contra affair?

My favorite "fit" question is "what kind of watches do you like?"

Illegal Interview Questions (Originally Posted: 05/29/2008)
I am curious to see what everyone's thoughts are regarding these interview questions. In your opinion, are they illegal, legal, and ethical/unethical to ask interviewees?
1) Where did you grow up? 2) What do you do for fun outside of work? 3) What extracurricular activities were you involved in during college?
number one is maybe unethical.
Other stuff, no. 2-> to make sure you're not a stiff 3-> also to make sure you have other interests!
where did you grow up isn't crossing the line or anything but it probably shouldn't be asked. i was asked the other two questions numerous times. clearly my interviewers didn't want to give an offer to a kid that a robot and does nothing besides bury themselves in books. you need to be somewhat outgoing and can actually talk to people in a non-finance manner. extracurriculars are very standard from my experience with interviews. all that stuff is on the person's resume anyway, the interviewer just wants you to elaborate on your experience to make sure you didn't just sign your name on a email list and pretend youre in the "club" or whatever it is.
none of these questions are off limits...... in fact i think i got all three in almost every interview i had.......
I have been told by HR not to ask the first question because you can infer socio economic status from the answer i.e. somebody answers Greenwich or Harlem
Illegal questions include:
-Age -Nationality (including native tongue) -Marital status -Affiliations -Disability
However, there are many ways to get around these questions. Question one can get dicey if they are using it for nationality, and not because they think they went to the same highschool as you.
Maybe 1 is off limits, but then again it helps personify you more. I grew up in a different country up till 9 yrs old, some ppl can relate, so it might be a good thing to ask, as in the person is showing interest.
I thought you were going to say something along the lines of what my friend had. He was working for a privately held portfolio company of a PE fund during the summer. He an interview with a boutique IB shop for a FT and the VP there was just fishing for information, said straight up we are not looking to hire. Then goes on to ask 30 questions about the firm. What is the revenue, expenses, etc. Guy said he can't answer, no dice on any 2nd rnd or anything like that.
Funny thing was the guy got the summer job because of his dad who is an MD at the fund that owned the firm, same reason he got the interview. Week later the VP calls the father and says "we have a lot of ideas we would like to show you about xyz company." The father flipped, "you expect me to sit here and listen to you, after you insult my son. I'm never doing business with you again."
Questions about nationality are not allowed, while work authorization questions are. So if you wanna know if someone is from the U.S. or from abroad, just ask about work authorization. Of course, if someone has a green card and is not a U.S. citizen, you won't be able to find out or ask them about it.
I don't think there is anything wrong with those, but I can see why #1 would be questionable. However, I think some interviewers would use it just to get to know you better, not to judge you. It can be part of the "Tell me about yourself" question.
Looking back at my interviewer packet from last Fall, #1 is off-limits but the others are kosher (according to HR). I have been asked #1 before in PE / HF interviews though.
I go to a state school. An MD said to me "the girls must be pretty hot at your school, huh?"
It's also illegal for interviewers to look at you during the interview, since this might allow them to discern your age and gender.
.
It seems like there are so many restrictions these days you can't even have a normal ice-breaking conversation. I agree that #1 may be questionable, but it's not strictly illegal. It gives you just enough rope to hang yourself if you're not thinking clearly. (Like you could answer "Indiana" or you could be stupid and say "Gary, Indiana.") #2 and 3 are common.
If you really want ILLEGAL, one interviewer actually asked if I plan on getting married and having kids. HA.
what about "so....do you think you've got the job?"
He was a male interviewer who had been flirty throughout the interview. So I was a little coy and flirted back while not directly answering the question. He took it well, even called me after the interview process was over to ask me out.
did you go out with him?
Nah, he was married so I turned him down like I was playing hard to get. Even if he were single I don't think I would have said yes though. I wasn't really into him.
call me naive, but is being unfaithful common in this industry?
Thats why you got dinged honey... the correct approach would have been:
Q: Do you want to have kids? A: Only if they're 100 to 200 thousand, yours, and swimming.
You must be sexy, how bad do you need a job/internship? PM ;)
