Let me now share with you the best ways

to answer where do you see yourself in 5
years job interview question
-Deniz Sasal
First, I will share with you the

conventional safe approach. Once, this is
out of the way, I will share with you my
way.
the first approach is

the safest one. Its
what everybody uses
and it is what I call
bullshit approach
Deniz Sasal
your BS answer may

tick the box and prevent
you from taking risks.
But, at the end of the
day, its BS
Deniz Sasal
Here is a good example of a BS Answer

I am really determined to achieve my and companys goals. Id like
to deliver to the best of my abilities while learning from the best.
Having said that, I see myself 5 years down the road growing into a
managerial role and demonstrating my leadership capabilities
Or Another One
I am really looking forward to spending the next five years in an
organization where I feel I share all of its values, especially when it
comes to [some values]. I would love to have the opportunity to
demonstrate my leadership capabilities when the time is right,
hopefully within 5 years and contribute to its growing success.
Alright, they are safe

answers but not
necessarily
something I would
say.
and I didnt. When I

was asked this question
5 years ago at my PwC
Consulting interviews, I
said
Deniz Sasal
I said
PwC Consulting Partner (Interviewer): Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: Hmm. Let me gather my thoughts for a second [Yes, I literally took my time to think. You
should try it too] Judging by the fact that where I saw myself in the past and where I ended up,
its really hard to say where I will be. The only way I can see the future is by looking at my past,
right?
And if you asked this question to me almost 8 years ago when I was working at Standard &
Poors as a financial analyst, Id tell you I wanted to be an investment banker, then 5 years later
I was a project management consultant, then sustainability consultant, and now here I am
interviewing for a management consulting role which I can confidently do very well.
So, as you see, where I wanted to be almost never happened and its really hard to say now
where I will be in 5 years.
But I guarantee you this. I will do my best in this role and try my best to have a wonderful career
at PwC with your team and with your leadership. And when the times comes, I will assume more
leadership roles, hopefully easing some of your intense work load.
When I gave this answer,

something incredible happened...
Partner was definitely shocked
hearing my answer and I could
tell he wasnt expecting this.
And after that, he started to

pat me in the back, saying
Son, its okay. Its very normal
going through things like this
at your 20s, we dont always
get to have the career we
want. But dont worry things
will be a lot more clear for you
moving forward with us.
He was completely engaged for the

rest of the interview, conversing with
me, giving details about the way
they work, and telling me that hed
love to have a talent like me in the
team.
Then, he asked how soon I can
join
I couldnt ask for

a better interview
for sure! What
worked was simple;
honesty!
Deniz Sasal
I was probably one of the few people who took the path
less traveled. I was someone who had the courage to
choose a less than perfect answer instead of lying and
bullshitting.
next time you are

asked this
question, can you
do the same thing?
Deniz Sasal
I have 1 more
awesomeness for
you today!
Deniz Sasal

level and find jobs with multinationals,
