One of my first job interviews after college was a bit of a bait and switch. Something like “Analyst position at major finance company”. Turned out to be a group interview trying to find people to sell life insurance.
There was only one happy person in that building and it was the “star salesman” who was around 30 and drove a Ferrari. I later learned his dad founded the company and he took over when dad retired.
The sheer misery for everyone else was palpable. Over hearing people on phones trying to sell this crap to relatives and acquaintances.
Years later I got cold called by the same company by completely different people to interview for the same thing. I went in just to waste their time. The only people I recognized from round 1 were Ferrari and his secretary.
