The Worst Interview Question

Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

And expecting a concrete answer.

If you are able to give a tangible answer to that question, chances are you aren't stretching yourself.

The only good answer to that question is doing something you're passionate about, making a legitimate impact on the world and absolutely crushing it. However, it is impossible to know what your passions will be that far down the road, and with the way things are going, chances are that it doesn't even exist today.

Just think about 10 years ago... what a funny idea this Mark Zuckerberg guy has with this little thing called The Facebook, Blackberry is crushing it but what the hell is this Android and iPhone thing you speak of, and this is me looking like someone who will never diet, pick up a weight or do cardio of any sorts.

So if you hear that question, go ahead and give them the old jedi hand wave and a "This is not the question you are looking for."
