Why do they still ask this? I could be dead within the next 5-10 years...

I always reply with "asking you the same question"

It's to see if you have any ambitions, life plans, or if you are just drifting through life with no purpose. One makes for a better employee, usually!

they want to know if you plan to stick around or not.

companies don't like being used as 'stepping stones' to something else.

THIS ^^^^^^
If you have ambitions they figure they'll get more out of you than your job description calls for because you want to climb their 'ladder'. The top 100 world type corporations I used to work for asked everybody this once a year and I always used to tell them RIGHT HERE DOING WHAT I'M DOING, stopped the interview cold every. freaking, time.

They are trying to fuck with you. Just tell them you expect to be a team leader and moving the business etc. towards more exponential growth.

It's all bullshit with these people. Just be better at bullshitting then they are.

That does seem an antiquated question.

I can see the relevancy when commitment to the organization was valued. Nobody spends more than 5 or 10 years with the same employer anymore.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Well, I quit my job a year ago and switched to a new way of making money. (Please don't contact my last employer, bitch was lesbian hitting on me and then Covid came along, total shit storm).

But that could all crash in the near future, in which case, it's good that I'm also equipped to live in a cave in the Grand Canyon. Let me ask YOU a question, potential employer....how much ammo and beans/rice you got?

You don't need me on your team, you need YOU on your team. Wanna know how to make money under this new paradigm? Take me out for a drink, I'll tell you.
