There are those who strive to contribute to the vision and the greater success of a team. Then there are those who strive to develop themselves, driven by their own ambitions to accomplish their personal and professional goals. There's nothing wrong with ambitiously trying to climb the latter. But prioritizing the ultimate success of the team displays big-picture thinking. By contributing to the greater success of the company and the team, you are contributing to your individual success and development. The scope of one's vision, the big picture versus a more narrow short-term view is what the interviewer is truly trying to assess.

BofA's culture is centered around innovation and collaboration. Ideally, your goal is to reveal your motivation to further the team rather than checking off a list of accomplishments as you try to climb through the ranks. Balance your personal goals with the goals of the team. When they align, both your personal goals and that of the team are accomplished.

"At my position at a coffee shop I worked at, I was assistant manager. I gave the owner a heads-up that I was going to be leaving in a couple of months. They were grateful that I gave them so much notice. I started training my successor as the new assistant manager. It went well, and in less than a couple of weeks, they were up to speed. My boss assured me I'd be assistant manager until I left, but I told them it would be better if I stepped down and if my trainee became my boss. This way I could back them up, be around to answer questions, and phase out my schedule. I go in for coffee there now and again and they're all doing great."
