Are you still in Italy?

They'll just laugh at you because they know it's nigh on impossible to start a business there.

If they believe you can, they'll know you won't stay with them for long. So if the company is investing in you, hoping to keep you on board for a long time, it might work against you.

Hmm, well whats the context?
Some might consider that a plus.

Accidentally. It's a stupid move though, I understand now.

Not for long, hopefully.

I’ve said that in job interviews several times lol. They pretty didn’t give a crap. Pretty much no one cares about your dreams or goals. Lol If anything they probably don’t like it because they want someone that loves being told what to do.

I hated job interviews I was awkward and never performed well.
