Interesting Interview Question

So, I just received my FT offer, but I wanted to reflect on some of my interview questions that I received from various banks. Specifically, I wanted to ask your thoughts on this scenario.

For a top MM firm, a director asked me to stand up, walk over to his window of the 26th floor, look outside, and tell him what I saw.

I tried to go with some form of "opportunity", but I definitely bombed it hard! lmao
