every technical job i&#x27;ve ever interviewed for:<p>Q: where do you see yourself in 1 &#x2F; 2 &#x2F; 5 years?<p>A: The last couple jobs i&#x27;ve answered with &quot;I&#x27;d like to find myself in a management &#x2F; leadership type of roll - I know enough about technology &#x2F; what my industry (programming) does and operates that I think I&#x27;d be a great project manager&quot;. I&#x27;ve yet to accomplish this; i&#x27;m still a full stack developer (albeit, making good money) but I have yet to break into management at a day job.<p>If I get asked this in the next job my answer will most likely be &quot;I have no idea. I don&#x27;t want to say &quot;well see where the wind takes me&quot; but the technology landscape changes to quickly and to frequently to make any educated guess as to where it&#x27;ll be in 1 &#x2F; 2 &#x2F; 5 years - and as a developer, you need to go where technology goes. 8 years ago, I was a systems administrator; 5 years ago, I was writing almost exclusively in PHP. This year, it&#x27;s almost all AngularJS and NodeJS. I&#x27;ll know where I&#x27;ll be tomorrow when tomorrow comes.&quot;<p>or something like that.
