What was your craziest Interview experience to land a job?

Hello there,

So the peeps in my company got drunk and we shared some bizarre experiences of landing in jobs. There is several CNN articles of people in Finance asking the strangest of the questions. One extreme question was: I'll give you the job, i get to sleep with your girlfriend.

The ones I my friends shared were less extreme, but some seemed like college 'Fraternity Hazing', rather than a job interview. Is the Wall Street still as cutthroat?

I'd like to hear what extreme interviews you've heard or experienced.

PS: Can't attach the CNN articles cause I'm low on Bananas T.T

 

Okay so I'm an avid Blind user, and I keep seeing crazy things happing in wall street and tech companies alike. So this very much exists, today.

Here's a thread that has people talking about their experiences.

It's sad how this hierarchy still play out in these companies. I've personally not been treated this way, but I remember when I was in college, theres was an extremely racist professor that hated me.
