The interviewer asks this question to determine if you will be a long-term or short-term employee. Companies invest a lot of money and time to hire and train employees, and the interviewer wants to know that you will be a long-term employee if hired. The interviewer wants to see if you plan to work for the company for a reasonable amount of time or if you are using this job as a stepping stone to starting your own practice.

Assure the interviewer that you are not planning on going into practice for yourself and plan to work for the company for many years if hired. If you were planning on starting your own practice, you most likely would have done that by now and wouldn't be interviewing for the Fraud Investigator position.

Even if you plan to start your own practice in the future, avoid telling the interviewer. This is tricky because you do not want to be dishonest, but if you tell the interviewer your plans, they might not hire you for the position.

"No, I do not have plans to start my own practice. I have never thought about going into business for myself, as I enjoy working for large companies like yours."
