It seems like job interviews always require some level of dishonesty. For example, admitting you want a job just for the money and insurance would immediately disqualify you from virtually any opportunity. Where do you draw the line?

Prepare an answer that is relevant to the company. Opportunity to learn and develop skills. The future. Don’t ie about anything that is verifiable, education, job history, etc.

Wanting a job because you need to make money goes without saying, so that wouldn't be a great answer just for that reason. But it's perfectly fine to get a little creative, or expansive, without really lying. For instance, saying you want to work in insurance because it's steady and stable. Or you want to work for a specific company because you've heard the work is interesting, that sort of thing. You can be a little expansive without it being dishonest, really.

I am not lying when I am saying for the opportunity and I typically like the additional experience. It's not solely for the money may be a big portion but looking for a new opportunity would satisfy even covering growth (financially)

HAHAH this made me laugh because it is too real! I honestly wish we could just tell them like it is. I really am just trying to get this job to pay bills because if I didn't have bills I would not be working. Listen....I am not a fan of having to have a job LOL.

Hey sharks!

I have prior experience of React+AWS (2yrs)
Then joined an org where I was bound to work on plain js and outdated libs (1 yr)
I gave numerous interviews.
Common feedback : You're very strong in Js but seems like you're not day to day coding in React (which is absolutely true).
In current org work pressure is quite much, tough to practice seperately. (Theoretical knowledge of react is good, but need practical knowledge)
Requested my org to assign me react proj, they didnt.
Plz help!
