The interviewer, a very senior technical guy, asked me, "So, do you have any questions for me?"

面试官是个非常资深的技术员，他问我：“你还有什么问题要问我的？”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "What's the worst thing about working here?"

我思考了一会，然后说：“在这里工作，最糟糕的事情是什么？”

He thought about it for a minute, then got up and closed his door, and told me. For like half an hour, in painful detail, getting more agitated¹ as he went. Then he was done, and sent me on my way saying I'd hear back soon.

他想了一会，然后站起来，关上门，然后告诉了我，说了差不多半个小时，说得非常详细，越说越激动。然后他停下来，送我出去，告诉我，我很快就会收到答复。

The next day I got called back in. Seems that after he talked to me, he went and resigned, and the HR rep asked what happened in our interview.

第二天我就收到了回电。好像是面试官在同我交谈之后，他就去辞职了，然后人力资源代表问我在面试时发生了什么。

After I told them, in detail, I expected to hear nothing further. Instead, the CTO came in to talk to me, and asked if I would be interested in coming aboard to help him fix all the things that seemed to be wrong with the organization (and solve some cool technical problems as well).

在我详细地告诉他们之后，我就没指望收到其他什么消息。但是，首席技术官进来和我谈了一下，还问我是否有兴趣出国帮他处理所有组织上可能出的问题（而且同时解决一些很酷炫的技术问题）。

So I did.

我答应了。

At an interview for a tech startup, I was asked, "where do you see yourself in five years?"

在一个科技创业项目的面试上，我被问到：“你觉得你五年后会在哪里？”

我得到了那份工作。三年后，那个创业项目失败了。又过了两年，我搬到了好莱坞，现在在拍电影。

Win, win.
