Purpose
This question helps interviewers see what you value when money isn't an issue. It shows if you're driven by passion for medicine or other factors, and how you handle financial responsibility.
Tips
- Start with a sensible plan like consulting a financial advisor to show maturity.
- Mention taking care of family, like paying off debts or funding education, to show gratitude and responsibility.
- Express that you'd continue in medicine, maybe in a more focused or altruistic way, to show passion.
- Include some charitable plans, like starting a foundation or supporting a cause you care about.
- Balance your answer with some personal enjoyment, like travel, to show you're relatable and well-rounded.
Common mistakes
- Saying you'd quit medicine entirely, which might suggest you're not truly passionate about it.
- Focusing only on luxury purchases, which can make you seem materialistic.
- Forgetting to mention any altruistic or community-focused plans, which can be a red flag in a caring profession.
