Re: The interview.
I hate salary questions. I never know what to say. I never know how high I should shoot for , I feel like I am on the price is right.
Also hate the question, do I have anything coming up in the future, anything that i need time off for. At this point, you know you have a cruise booked, and was hoping to tell them after they loved you and you were hired, now you tell them and it is a problem.

Investment banking I got asked a TON of crazy questions. They don't even care about the answers, it's more how you try to solve it. Ex. I asked are the seats up or down? Are the basketballs inflated or deflated? Regulation size?

I would have just said a lot.! 
I interview people & I never know what to ask. I usually just ask them to tell me about the things they did at their previous job.

Re: The interview.
I probably would have said "How many do you need me to fit in there?"
as for the preggo in 5 years - when I interviewed for my company, my boss asked where I see myself in 5 years, I said "Well, I'll be working here, I'll have kids so I'll need to catch the 5:04 home, but you can get me on the train."

DH is in investment banking too. I have to ask him if he got any weird questions like this. LOL. I know he's had those ones where like 5 people interview you at once. That would be awful!

"What is a typical day of yours like now?"
The answer to both questions is easy... LIF

I got this one too, good thing that my boss has actually said many nice things to me at my evaluations, I just repeated those to the interviewer.
