Where do you see yourself in five years?

      Nice! It's great that you want to stay with the company long-term; the interviewer will appreciate this. It's also wonderful that you're continuing your education. Is there a particular role within the company that you hope to reach within the next five years? If so, mention the job title. Also, are you hoping to one day manage other people? Adding some additional details will further strengthen your answer. Great job!
