Hey There!
For this type of question, the goal is to choose someone who reflects qualities you admire and who aligns with the skills or mindset valuable in the role. A strong answer could be that you’d switch places with a successful CEO or investor, because you’d want to see how they make high-pressure decisions, manage large teams, and balance long-term strategy with day-to-day execution. This shows curiosity about leadership and an eagerness to learn from those who have mastered complex challenges.
You could also frame it around gaining perspective that would help you grow professionally. For example, switching places with a senior dealmaker at a leading investment bank would give you insight into how they build relationships with clients, navigate negotiations, and maintain composure under intense deadlines. This kind of answer highlights ambition, respect for the craft, and a genuine interest in developing into a more effective professional.
