I have two thoughts with this post:

1. Where do you want to be in 3 years? and,

2. How does one answer this question in a work setting?


Personally, I want my wife, my kids, and I to be living in the same city with good jobs for the both of us. Right now, my wife and kids are living in another state.

Professionally, I want to run the research wing of a non-profit, perhaps the non-profit where I am currently working. I'm qualified. I just haven't had enough time working outside of academia.

My concern is: How do answer that question in an interview or when asked by a boss when the answer is: "I want your job or an equivalent job at another employer"?
