Interviewing for an IT Audit position and having a difficult time with preparing for the “where I see myself in 5 years” question… I was told by the recruiter to be prepared for this. Any ideas?

In IT audit “neck deep at 10:30 pm taking screenshots” probably would be a fair answer

In five years I expect that I will
1). Be doing what I love
2). Be in a role where I am able to own problems and drive solutions
3). Still be learning and growing

Done - easy peasy

Tell me how to definitely not get the job without telling me so 🤣

I’d probably say something along the lines of I see myself being a leader within the practice and a valuable asset that can help progress the practice forward. I would like to become more involved in business development and not only manage projects but also help bring in more projects for the firm.

“Not in IT Audit”

Companies/teams that STILL ask this question going into 2023 are red flags. This a BS question from those who themselves have zero vision or desire to help people grow. The question should be "where can you help me be in 5 years"

Hello. Just curious on what's the salary ceiling for a manager position at Deloitte? Received a verbal offer and waiting on written offer. I was told by a recruiter that M at Deloitte doesn't make more than 180. Just curious if that's actually true and if anyone had experience negotiating higher salary than 180.
