    Remember that interviews go both ways. You are trying to see if this company is a place you want to spend half your waking hours. Ask the interviewer where they see themselves in 5 years. Watch their reaction closely. Do they sigh, or hesitate? You might get a telling bit of honesty out of them.

        Yes it’s fair, it’s human, it’s literal, it seeks to elucidate. It’s the perfect question to ask the interviewer.

        I’m on the interview rotation and absolutely hate my company. I have a canned answer for this question and it sounds genuine.

        And I give every person I interview a recommendation because I want to get out of here.
