What if the interviewer is looking for a true teammate and is put off by your attitude, and thinks you are greedy and selfish, a mercenary? You lose that good job with a test that lumps together the best and the worst actors.
'a true teammate and is put off by your attitude, and thinks you are greedy'
True teammates are cool, but is he prepared to feed my family and adopt my children in case I get killed by a bus?
What is the extent of mutual sacrafice 'true teammates' are gonna do for each other? Or is it a manipulative boss getting you to sacrafice family for the sake of the business? Or is is a naive idiot getting both of you to sacrafice for the business?
Yoy responsibility is to family and yourself first. Jobs come and go.
Most of us are here at our jobs because we need to earn a living, and not because we just love scrum so much that we'd do it even if we had to do it for free.
Of course you'd want to maximize your pay. Any coworker who drinks the Koolaid and doesn't understand that isn't a coworker I'd want to be with.
