Because Compensation Managers are employed in every business and industry, you ultimately have the choice on where you want your career to take you. In asking this question, your interviewer wants to hear that you had a direct purpose in choosing to apply and interview with their organization rather than just applying to any job that may have been out there. They ultimately want to hear that you would bring a personal investment into their organization if hired. Prior to interviewing, and hopefully even prior to applying, you should do your research into overall business, mission and values of the organization you are interviewing with so you can tie those values to your own. No matter how you answer this question, make sure that your interviewer walks away from your time together confident in your commitment to this role and their organization.
