If you are applying for an engineering position, then you should tell the interviewer that you are happy with your career. If you are leveraging your engineering experience into a sales, business, HR, or other position, then you should still be positive about your engineering experience, but is okay to explain why you are dissatisfied and are thus pursuing employment in another sector. In either case, tell the interviewer 1) a specific reason why you are happy with your engineering career and 2) how this has influenced your future career aspirations.

"Yes, I am happy with my career as an engineer. As a Quality Engineer, I've enjoyed that every day is different and I'm constantly thinking on my feet to solve problems. In the future, I look forward to moving up to management where I can focus on QA/QC at a macro level, beyond daily operations."
