A good answer does not need to sound like you have your whole life planned.
I usually focus on direction, not a fixed job title. For example, I’d say I want to build stronger skills, take on more responsibility, and work on projects that matter.
One thing people forget: companies also want to know if your goals can fit the role. So connect your future plans to what the job actually offers.
And honestly, saying “I’m not sure yet, but I know what skills I want to build” can sound more real than giving a perfect five-year story.
