Is it just me or are behavioral questions really stupid? I always feel like they're either way too open ended or they're asking about something that's never happened to me

I guess I'm just whining cause I hate interviewing haha. I've always been highly rated at work so it's a little annoying to run into these stupid questions that are more about memorizing a story that sounds good than anything else IMO. Maybe there's some insight to be gleaned but I think these mostly measure preparation.

Just practice a few scenarios to yourself. Also - go in with a relaxed mindset, knowing that you already have a job and if these clowns turn you down - it doesn’t matter.

There are people who are able to read who you are and what you are about based on how you give the answer, details, etc. But some people only think they are good at understanding people and use the question anyway

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me. He also exhibits stalker like behavior by looking up my family online (addresses, emails, phone numbers, FB/Twitter accounts, you name it) and driving by my house and commenting on things I was doing during the weekend or after work. I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..

If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
