    @evacide most likely in a mirror. That's where I've seen myself for most of my life, and I don't really expect that to change radically.

      When I got this question for the first time, I had just left highschool and waiting to get into college.
      The interviewer said: ”Where do you see yourself in five years?”
      I said: ”Well, at the last term of my college education I presume.”

      *I don’t think that’s the answer you’re supposed to give…*

                    "Hopefully doing the same thing I'm doing now, considering the world we live in" was my answer to the last appraisal. Future? Let's live in the present.

                                  And to be absolutely clear, you are getting paid for this in actual, real, custom made, 99% pure silver coins.

                                  Probably worth more as a collectable so you don't want to melt it.
                                  Oh, it would be so funny if you could go to a historic event and pay with those because of that.
                                  Everyone would just understand that they will probably never convert those to cash but they can probably trade them for more cool stuff or just fun.

                                      @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."
