Where do you see yourself in five years?
Show ambition inside the company: deepen technical skills, own modules, then mentor or lead. Avoid answers that imply you will leave for higher studies or a different field.
Example
"In two years I want to own features end to end. By five years I'd like to be a senior engineer who designs modules and helps onboard new joiners, ideally in the same domain I start in."
