Sounds like a place where you basically turn over your life for 2-5 years, make a shitload of money, pay off your bills/beef up your savings, and then cashout for an easier job.

Thats what I take from the interview as well, probably not the kind of job that most people could handle working at for years on end.

Starts with hiring partner (who was essentially wearing a muscle tee) saying:

"Forget this resume...tell me about your fantasy football picks."

It was suppose to be a 30 min interview but all that was spent on on fantasy football...then he asked me a few work related questions, generally uninterested in my responses.

At one point, I stop talking because he is checking emails and text messages. He looks up and says "Don't stop, say your peace. It's not you...I just hate these questions, but they make me ask them so I can't really care about your responses."

Few more questions, same reaction, etc.

Then he cuts me off and says "Look, I like you, so I'll be honest. Your qualified for the position and you seem like a cool guy. I think you will fit in with the team. But here is the thing: I can't go to sleep at night without ambien. That's how stressed I am. On the other hand, I make a shit load of money. See this? (Points to his rolex). I don't give he shit if I lost it. I would buy another one. So ask yourself what's more important: money or mental health before taking this job."

That was just part of the speech. Note there has not been an offer made before all this. Quite an interesting guy.

I swear I've heard this story before.

I swear I've heard this story before.

Not sure if it was from me or not, but in my first non-contract paid job out of school, I interviewed with a solo practitioner who was fired from his big firm for client trust fund "issues." During the interview, he asked me my religion, asked if I was gay, etc. He eventually hired me and I took the job because the market was really tough for a newbie at the time (not much better now). I only stayed 6 months or so but it was pretty damn entertaining if you are good at taking a joke.

That attorney is now officially disbarred due to a serious of ethical violations (several of which again involved tampering with client funds).

Well, yeah she does.

Tell your mom I said Hi...glad the paternity test came out negative.

Yeah, she's glad you're not her son; she was so elated that she ran straight to the gym and lifted.

Oh, and your mom said she's just glad that I came. /ruffles... So cute!

My current boss is a bro. It's fucking awesome. I'm giving it up to make more money, and you're going to have both at the same job.

DO IT.
