“wHeRe Do YoU sEe YoUrSeLf FiVe YeArS fRoM NoW?”

Fucking hate that question. Heard it twice last week in two separate job interviews. Lazy-ass question. Like they care, right? How the fuck would I know? Who could preduct the pandemic, Trump, Russia? $4/gallon gas? But I figured out how to answer the question…with a question…and put the ball back in the employer's court. “That depends…what opportunities can be provided by this company to advance and to grow my career?” That way, you let the employer know that you are interested in investing in the work. Whether or not that is the case is irrelevant, but it gets you past a stupid interview question. Best of luck.
