Your interviewer is curious whether working in an environment that you enjoy motivates you and offers job satisfaction, whether you are motivated by the career opportunities within Zalando that lie ahead, or if you are only in it for the money, which suggests a lack of loyalty and being up for the highest bidder. How you answer should reveal whether you would be a sustainable employee or a liability.

"When I think about job satisfaction, I think about being equally rewarded for my merits as anyone who puts their all in. I am very much self-driven and self-motivated. Being treated with equal respect and appreciation fuels my passion to put my all in. I am motivated by being included in what's happening behind the scenes and being trusted to follow through, support, and spread the vision among my teams. I am also motivated by being awarded with responsibility and opportunity to advance accordingly."
