It’s common for candidates to be experts in some technical area that the manager knows little about. Sometimes managers don’t realize how to ask questions about the qualities, preferences, non-technical, or technical skills, so the manager asks, “Where do you want to be in five years?” Managers, if you want to know about ambition, ask another question such as, “When was the last time you wanted to improve a skill? What did you do?” instead.
Candidates, when you’re faced with this question, consider your options. You can answer jokingly, “On a sailboat with a gin and tonic.” Of course, you run the risk that your potential boss will think you’re a lazy lush:-).
A better answer is to help your interviewer by answering a question the interviewer didn’t ask. Interviewers want to know about ambition, but they also might want to know how you’ve improved a particular skill, or worked differently with a group of people, or where you’re trying to learn different skills. Maybe the interviewer wants to know if you need a technical track or a management track job. Take stock of your functional skills, domain expertise, tools expertise, and industry expertise, along with your non-technical skills and practice your answers before the interview.
