"A weird question asked in interviews"
Interviewer: Where do you see yourself after 10 years.
Me: well…I don’t know.
Interviewer: In a surprise, what! you have not planned your career.
Me: Please help me plan my next 10 years right away.
Can you guarantee me 10 years secure job in your organization and a minimum percentage of increment every year?
Can you assure that you will not hire a boss who will let my job die an unnatural death because of his devilish bossism?
Interviewer: How can I assure you this?
Me: Ok, can you show me your 10 years organizational plan so that I can align my plan.
Interviewer: 10 years? Oh! we have planned just for next 2 years.
Me: Silent
Interviewer: Still you should plan and set your goals, you seem to have no aspiration for your career.
Me: Well, but aspirations can never be planned. We can plan an action. And planning 10 years action today doesn’t seem feasible.
As of now, I have just planned that if you offer me, I will join your organization and that’s it.
Interviewer: a long Silence……with a perplexed look.
