I would suggest framing your response around “growth” personal and for the company of course because that’s what they want to hear. Ask yourself what you want to accomplish/achieve (learn a new dev language, automate processes, grow into a higher position, more senior level). Always tie it to the company. If they shared some of their pain points, use that for your answer.
Always remember…. They want to know if you’ll be able to solve their problems and help them grow. Is not about you is about THEM. sad but true and is how you can land the offer.
Good luck!
I’ve always wondered what the purpose is of this kind of question.

When asked that question I want to say "not here" because that's probably the reality. I've had many jobs over the years and only one was more than 5 years. It's not typical for people to hang around for the long term these days.
Every time I hear that question, I keep thinking about Hans Gruber in Die Hard. "Lying on a beach, earning 20%" I mean, why not? If you're going to dream, dream big, right?
A good response is: Believe that your organization is as good as you say, then I can see myself here in 5 years
Its so your leader can check a box and say they talked to you about your IDP 🙄
