Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

[StopTheEarthIwantToGetOff]

A classic interview question!

I see myself managing my elite group of devs in my plush offices after my plan b went from strength to strength!

OR

Doing the same stuff I am doing now, but with a slightly healthier bank balance.

OR

Scrambling through the post apocalyptic ruins trying to find a rat to eat (2012 and all that!)

FFS can't you think of a decent question of your own?

Nobody here is interviewing you for a job wod, nobody here would want to. Be a good chap and answer the question.

In 5 years I wouldn't mind having saved enough to buy a house outright. From a standing start of zero savings a year ago, that would be quite sweet.

In five years time I see myself looking back and regretting that I didn't slap you.

It should be one of those questions that (like health) are legally not allowed to ask.

You're really going to dwell on every tiny slight for 5 years? What are you, my wife?

No you are right. In five years time I will have forgotten your very existence.

Was asked the same question for my current 6 month gig, my reply in 6 months I will be leaving the UK. Wish I followed through with "..and you are paying the remainder of the funds I need"
