Reply to comment by Nazamroth in TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz

If your answer is "You offer an acceptable amount of money in exchange for an acceptable amount of work and acceptable conditions" they don't want to hire you.

Why hire someone who will leave as soon as they can? The interview question is doing its job - it is keeping them from hiring you.

People seem to think that the goal of interview questions is to hire them. Whereas the goal of interview questions is almost always to not hire people like them.

Why would I leave as soon as I can? As long as the conditions remain the same(ideally relative to the world around us), I will stay. Obviously.

Hell, I had a job for 6 years, and I hated both it, and my employer after the first 2. But the conditions remained acceptable for another 4 years (and did the job with high enough quality to get commended by higher ups), at which point they went far enough with BS that I left.
