This will help assess how committed you would be to the company, given the opportunity, and how ambitious will you prove to be with your career at Pfizer. It will offer insight into your other life priorities, your flexibility, and how far you are willing to go to get the job.

If your answer is yes or a maybe, describe what it would take to do so, whether it is uprooting your family, or the costs of moving and the costs of living, but for the right opportunity, your answer is yes. If your answer is no, based on personal preference with no hard reasons why you would not be able to move, you can respond by being open to discussions on the matter should the opportunity present itself. If the answer is no and you have a hard, tangible reason as to why you're unable, such as taking care of an ill relative or a similar personal life obligation, be honest. Depending on the reasons the interviewer asks, it may not affect your chances of getting hired, or maybe it will. Either way will determine a good fit for you and the potential employer.

"I'd like to cross the bridge when we come to it. My spouse and I bought a house to be closer to my in-laws. So it would take some work convincing them. But if it proved to be a great opportunity for my career, I would strongly consider it."
