Where do you see yourself in five years?

How to approach it

Show ambition that fits this role. Talk about the problems and scope you want to own, not a job title.

How a strong answer opens

“In five years I'd like to own a product area end to end, including its P&L, and lead other PMs. This role is the right first step because it puts me close to customers and pricing decisions.”

Outline of a strong answer

Try answering out loud for a few minutes before you open this.

  1. The kind of product problems you want to own
  2. Skills you plan to build, such as leading a larger team or a P&L
  3. How this role is the first step toward that
  4. Keep it believable and tied to this company

Where this question usually goes wrong

Naming a job title, saying you want the interviewer's job, or describing a plan that has nothing to do with this company.
