@evacide oh, the thing todo next is to go into a 15 min lecture on slavic mythology and how this was actually a clever joke, while fully ignoring the rolling eyes. Will this get you a job? No, no-no no no… but it _might_ teach that HR person not to ask stupid and potentially personal questions - if they are not prepared to hear long winded answers;)

@evacide Inane interview questions like this one have been bouncing around HR departments since the 1960s.
This particular question is to figure out if you're trying to move up in the organization (manager) or specialize.
Depending on the company's long-term plans, either answer could be disqualifying, so if you want the job, give an evasive boilerplate answer talking about "growth" and "experience."

@evacide
"Where do you see yourself in five years' time?"
"In the mirror of a f*****g time machine" -

@evacide if the interviewer doesn't follow up with "fetch, kill, or escort quests?" they are unserious and nobody should work there.

@evacide clearly they want to be a main storyline NPC. Best we can do is side-quest NPC. Roll for charisma and wisdom. You need 26+ on both to be considered.

@evacide I don't mind doing some side quests in real life. It's usually side quests that are more fun & meaningful than main quests anyway.

@evacide I was not gifted with prescience and as such can only see myself in the present, and somewhat fuzzily in the past.

@evacide asking back “how many engineers you have with 5+ years of tenure?” is the only valid answer.

@shadownetworks My CHA is unexpectedly high, but my WIS is debatable.
