If it's government sector, be prepared for question, 'What can you do to foster inclusivity?' ... then your answer should include some BS about Indigenous, visible minority (in Vancouver meaning white people), LBGT2XXX, etc.

Other than the comment about "inspiration" I'd have to agree with the rest of what Hehe says about what the hiring manager is looking for - it's largely the same stuff I coach my clients on (and which is landing them jobs). As a hiring manager I don't really give a shit about your personal story or your passions - I care about whether you can fix the problem I have on my team first and foremost.
Interviewing can be pretty performative in tech (and adjacent industries) though - most companies do a really shitty job of interviewing so they dump a whole of bunch useless shit on the candidate (here's a take-home assignment that we want you to only spend 2 hours on but you'll really spend 16 hours on) that has no material impact on whether you can do the job or not.
Getting the job SHOULD be harder than doing the job but there's a lot of bullshit attached to it especially in a shaky job market.

My clients who landed jobs in Q1 didn't take cuts in TC - the best case one got a $50k raise, the worst case broke even (by choice). However if you're coming from big tech (AMZN, MSFT etc) then you can expect to take a cut if you're staying in Vancouver. Folks in SF are taking much bigger hits though - like the Google Director who was jobless for 9 months who ended up at EA as a Director (he likely took a 50% cut or more).

I've got stories on this subject matter. Could even make me an SME...
Won't share them here though. PM is fine.

It's kinda counterproductive to rail against Hehe's take.
In the same way that success in the workplace is finding a way to make your boss succeed, success at an interview is explaining to the hiring panel how you're going to make them succeed.
"I put in X years and therefore I deserve Y" probably makes a lot of sense in a protected (unionized) industry, but I don't think we're all lucky enough to have landed in an industry like that.
For the rest of us, we can keep complaining about how rigged the game is, or we can play the game to our advantage. Complaining feels real good, but the good feels aren't going to put any food on the table.
