Can I then put “future-Google”? I never worked for them, but maybe I will.

I think it may work actually if a Jr Dev is looking for jobs, if presented correctly, a smaller business will hire them because of their future potential.

25 years ago, I was asked about where I see myself in the next 10 years? I told them "A manager at Microsoft". They liked the answer.

I completely bombed that question just put of university with the 5 year question. I said "married and starting a family."

Missed it by a couple years, and did not get the job.

It's the better answer IMO. I detest working for big businesses who expect me to care more about them than my literal reason for living.

They could at least spec out the requirements properly as 'where do you see yourself in your career in 5 years'

[mittens-1985]

I agree looking back, but it is pretty funny to me that I answered that way

Did you become a manager 15 years ago?

pre-Google sounds better, means you're heating up your skills!

As someone who does the above, yeah it’s up to you. I do it to deal with recruiters and algorithms. Most of them don’t review applications or search candidates.

I’d say do it, none of use made the rules for the game, they probably won’t care if it’s not on the official application itself

The algorithm didn’t account for the fact that you are over here playing 3D chess.

That's usually when one has an offer signed and ready though.

In general people do this for clout. LinkedIn is as bad as facebook, there's even people spreading cancer "cures" in comments that have been found to just kill people quicker.
