Manager asked me why I chose his offer over other companies?

I’m a recent grad working at a fintech startup. The job is extremely stressful and I honestly hate my job with a passion. The company is actually headquartered in Russia but it has an US office, and Russian coworkers tend to be rude and uncooperative as fuck
Today during my performance review my manager asked me a pretty weird question out of the blue.
He has asked why I have chosen my current companies offer versus the other offers that I have received.
I’m afraid that my manager will find out that I hate my job . I don’t want to be sacked.

  • What is the context? Does he think you're disinterested? Or overqualified?

      I think he is sensing disinterest - I would be surprised if he thinks I’m overqualified
