NDA expired, let’s spill the beans on a weird startup

It's not snark at all. It is setting expectations. At this point in my career nobody should hire me because of what I might grow into. They should hire me because they need what I already do. Concocting some flim-flam about my growth goals would be misleading.

Anyway, this approach has always succeeded for me, including when I told the fintech company that I wanted to work there because it was the job in my industry nearest to my house. Both sides seemed happy with the outcome.

There's honesty (which is indeed largely good) and then there's being honest about your overinflated ego, which is what I suspect is earning you the downvotes above.

Those lame questions happen because no one can think of a better way.
